FOREWORD 



HOME OWNERS' CATALOGS is sent to you in the belief that it 
will help you derive greater satisfaction from your new home. You will 
find it of real assistance as a reference work and a valuable aid in the 
selection of building materials, equipment and furnishings. 

Building a home is more than a romantic experience. Intensely practical aspects 
are involved, and the satisfaction you derive over the years will depend largely 
upon the success with which you meet the practical phases of house construc- 
tion. Of these no others are so important as Design and Plan. Design and Plan 
must be adjusted to your Desires, your Needs, and your Budget. The architec- 
turally trained man is better able to handle this phase of the home building oper- 
tion than anyone else. 

Nevertheless, no one is as interested in your house as you are; you are going to 
pay for it; you are going to live in it. Once a material or an equipment goes in, 
it is there to stay. Once money is invested in furnishings, they are not to be 
discarded lightly. In taking care of this practical aspect of home building, noth- 
ing is more important than information. 

Home Owners' Catalogs is a mine of current, reliable information. In it you 
will find descriptions of products that will increase the comfort and conve- 
nience of your home, enhance its appearance, make it less costly to maintain, 
and add to its value as an investment. You will find products that are new to 
you, and desirable suggestions that may not have occurred to you. You will 
probably add Home Owners' Catalogs to your library and consult it from time 
to time, as you redecorate or add to your home.

In building A new home, you natu- 
rally want the most value for every 
dollar you spend. To make certain of 
this, care must be exercised to distinguish 
between what is really important and 
what only seems important. There are 
many desirable things — accessories that 
are useful but not essential — on which 
action can be postponed. 

But there are other things that are 
vital; matters of sound construction — 
fundamental things, too often overlooked, 
that mean so much to the enjoyment of 
your home in after years. Such things, for 
example, as water pipes and storage tanks 
. . . roofing, roof flashings, gutters and 
rain pipes . . . window and door screens. 
These items, all of them important, are 
frequently neglected because they seem 
but incidentals; neglected in some in- 



stances so badly that they soon constitute 
a burden of upkeep and repair expense 
that strains the family budget and takes 
from home ownership much of the pleas- 
ure it should rightfully hold. 

The Anaconda Products described on 
the following pages are giving rust-free , 
trouble-free service . . . and saving money 
. . . for thousands of homeowners who have 
had the foresight to provide for the future by 
spending a little more at first for rustless 
copper, brass and bronze. 

# # * 

And to assure yourself of the utmost in 
value, make sure that Anaconda Metals 
are specified and used. Anaconda Metals 
are made and trade-marked by The 
American Brass Company, world's largest 
and most experienced manufacturer of 
copper and copper alloys.

For ROOFS 

of Charm and 

Lasting Economy 




COPPER IS THE FINEST MATERIAL 

YOU CAN USE 



T^or centuries copper roofs have 
A adorned palaces, cathedrals and state 
buildings throughout the world; for such 
monumental structures the superiority of 
copper roofing has long been recognized. 
It has provided both stateliness and charm, 
warmth yet dignity, and the economy which 
characterizes this lasting non-rust metal. 

* * * 

To the home, copper roofing brings rich 
appearance and a note of character and 
quality. The effect becomes increasingly 
beautiful as the copper ages and attains 
the mellow antique color that is so highly 
prized and valued for decorative purposes. 

# # * 

Copper roofing, rustless and lasting, com- 



bines to a degree unrivaled by any other 
material these important qualifications: 
It is water-tight in spite of time and 
weather, relatively light in weight, non- 
inflammable and safe against flying em- 
bers. Snow and ice do not adhere readily 
to its smooth surface. It is easily installed, 
and above all most economical over the 
years. 

Copper roofing is now available at a cost 
which makes its use practical even for the 
small home — a cost well expressed in the 
name Economy Copper Roofing. This Ana- 
conda product, designed especially for 
residential roofing, is described in detail 
on the following pages.

ANACONDA 



ECONOMY COPPER ROOFING 



The copper used for the many out- 
standing roofs in this country and 
abroad has weighed 16 or more ounces to 
the square foot — resulting in a more costly 
roof than the average homeowner could 
afford. 

With the development of Anaconda 
Economy Copper Roofing, an attractive 
standing seam roof of this time-tried metal 
can be installed according to traditional 



methods at a saving of approximately 
one-third the cost of sheet copper roofing 
heretofore used. 

You may well wonder that this cost 
reduction could be achieved without some 
sacrifice in the important qualifications 
of watertightness > durability and beauty. 
The two-fold reasons are: i — Narrowing 
the sheets to a width of 16 inches reduces 
seam spacing to a point in keeping with 



(6) 



smaller roofs, and makes possible the use 
of thinner metal without sacrificing the 
strength, rigidity and wind resistance 
obtained from thicker sheets with wider 
seam spacing. This new design has per- 
mitted establishing the weight of Ana- 
conda Economy Copper Roofing at 10 
ounces per square foot. 2 — These lighter 
weight sheets, being more workable, are 
more easily and quickly formed and as- 
sembled by experienced sheet metal con- 
tractors. This reduces installation expense. 
That a copper roof at such savings pro- 
vides an entirely new standard of econ- 
omy will be apparent from the following 
specific advantages: 

Appearance — Copper increases in beauty 
with age and service. Under most atmos- 
pheric conditions, the metal takes on a 
color similar to statuary bronze and even- 
tually acquires the characteristic, velvety 
green patina which blends so well with 
stone, brick, wood and foliage. This patina 
also serves a useful purpose in that it 
forms a natural protection for the copper 
underneath. 

Durability — The durability of copper is 
traditional. The hottest sun cannot harm 
it. Below-zero weather leaves it unaf- 
fected. For generations copper roofs have 
protected Christ Church in Philadelphia, 
the Trinity Church in New York, and the 
State Capitol in Boston — to mention but 
a few well-known examples. Standing 
seam roofs were much more successful 
than other types in withstanding the ef- 
fects of the hurricane which devastated so 
many homes along the Atlantic seaboard 
in the autumn of 1938. 




This home in Dart en, Conn., was roofed by the 
N. Hamilton Company of Stamford.

designed by Donald C, Goss, Architect. 



Maintenance — -A copper roof, correctly 
installed, should need no further attention. 
Of all forms of metal roofing, the standing 
seam type is the most satisfactory and 
inexpensive to install. It provides ade- 
quately for expansion and contraction. 

Fire-Proof — -A copper roof eliminates the 
flying spark hazard, thus earning a lower 
insurance rate. 

Snow-Free— Snow and ice do not readily 
adhere to the smooth surface of a copper

roof. This minimizes danger of leaks at 
flashings when banked up snow and ice 
melt. 

Cools Faster — A home owner in Fort 
Worth testifies: "I am glad to report that 
this copper roof was much cooler than 
other types of roof that hold the heat in 
Texas sometimes after midnight. Ana- 
conda Copper will cool off in 15 minutes 
after the sun goes down." 

Protects Insulation — This protection is 
highly important. Water or moisture im- 
pairs the efficiency of cellular insulating 
materials. A correctly installed copper 
roof is not only water-tight, but com- 
pletely moisture-proof— ideal construction 
for an insulated home. 

Light Weight — Economy Copper Roof- 
ing is much lighter in weight than wood, 
tile, asbestos or slate. Hence a heavy, 
more costly supporting structure is un- 
necessary. 

The Combination of these Advantages 
is Unsurpassed Value 

The ideal roof could well possess all of 
these important advantages. In addition, 
it should be easy and inexpensive to in- 
stall, and should require a minimum of 
expense for maintenance. Anaconda Econ- 
omy Copper Roofing fulfills all of these 
requirements. Compare it, point by point, 
with other roofing materials, and you will 
see why Anaconda Economy Copper 
Roofing offers unexcelled value.

Standing Seams—This type of joint is 
readily made, and has proved its efficiency in 
long service. The standing seam, which does 
not require solder, provides free movement 
for the expansion and contraction of the 
metal. Spacing between seams is approxi- 
mately 13^ inches. 

Horizontal Seams — The seams at the ends 
of each pan are of the simple flat-lock type, 
K" l a P ? unsoldered. Horizontal seams are 
staggered. 

Cleats— No nails penetrate the sheets them- 
selves, which are kept in place by copper 
straps (cleats), nailed to the roof deck every 



12 inches along each vertical seam, and cross 
seams if desired, with flat-head copper nails. 
Valleys — Ten-ounce Copper is considered 
satisfactory, but where the valleys drain large 
roof areas or extra rigidity is desired, copper 
weighing 16 ounces per square foot should be 
used. 

Soldering — Installation is made without the 
use of solder, except in unusual instances 
where soldering is absolutely necessary to 
make flashing joints watertight. 
Pitch— Economy Copper Roofing should not 
be applied on slopes of less than four inches to 
the foot. 

Sheathing — Boards should be laid solid 
without open joints, parallel to ridge. Sheath- 
ing boards are covered with 15-pound asphalt- 
saturated felt. 

Re-Roofing — Anaconda Economy Copper 
Roofing is of course as suitable for old roofs 
as for new, but it should not be applied di- 
rectly over old roofing materials.

ANACONDA SHEET COPPER 

For non-rust Gutters, Rainpipes, Flashings 



Regardless of the type of roofing, extreme 
care should be used in selecting the metal 
which is needed for the roof drainage system. 
Repairs and replacements are an item of fu- 
ture expense that can easily be avoided. 

Valleys, gutters and rain-pipes should by all 
means be made of copper. Rain water, con- 
centrating in the valleys and gutters, and 
rushing in flood volume to the downspouts, 
severely tests rust-weakened metal. That is 
why metals that rust usually last only five to 
eight years, while copper serves indefinitely. 

The same is true of flashings^strips of 
metal used to weather-proof the roof wherever 
it comes in contact with chimneys, dormer 
windows or other projections. It is most im- 
portant that the metal used be copper be- 
cause ferrous flashings will soon rust, admitting 




water to rot the 
woodwork and 
perhaps to cause 
considerable dam- 
age to the interior 
of the house. 

Copper sheet 
metal work is not 
expensive. Though 
it does cost slight- 
ly more in the be- 
ginning, it saves 
far more in the 
end by forever 

eliminating upkeep expense due to rust. Cop- 
per, for instance, never need be painted, but 
if ferrous metal is used, constant painting to 
delav rust adds another annoying expense. 



Many homeowners are insisting 
on copper. They have found that, 
no matter how "cheap" r us table 
gutters and rain -pipes seem to 
be, they always cost jar more in 
the end.

RUST-FREE 

WATER 

YEAR AFTER YEAR 





FROM TROUBLE-FREE PIPING of COPPER or BRASS 



A full flow of rust- free water — at all times. 
. That is the demand of the tenant and 
owner, and the goal of the architect. The real- 
ization that rustable water pipe, resulting in 
eventual repair or replacement, is not eco- 
nomical, has led to a pronounced increase in 
the specification and use of brass and 
copper for water supply, heating and air con- 
ditioning lines. 

Permanent Pipe Needed 

The need for permanent pipe was not as 
great a generation ago as it is today. Then 
piping was exposed and accessible, and labor 
costs were lower. Replacements were expect- 
ed, and relatively inexpensive. Nevertheless, 
there are many authentic records of igth cen- 
tury brass pipe installations that have justi- 
fied the foresight of their original owners by 
a half-century and more of trouble-free, unin- 
terrupted water service. 

Rust — the most common cause of pipe 
troubles— results in rust-colored water, re- 
duced flow, and eventually in leaks. With 



present-day piping usually concealed behind 
walls and under floors, repairs and replace- 
ments cause serious expense and annoyance. 
The cost of pipe renewals usually amounts to 
many times the initial saving that rustable 
pipe seems to offer. Realizing this, it is logical 
that thoughtful homeowners are turning so 
generally to non-rusting metal — to avoid the 
possibility of future rust troubles. 

Other factors further emphasize the need 
for quality pipe. The corrosiveness of public 
water supplies is in itself a serious problem. 
Present standards of sanitation have broadly 
extended the chemical treatment of domestic 
waters, in many cases increasing their cor- 
rosiveness. 

The effective resistance to corrosion that 
brass or copper pipe and copper tubes offer 
meets a nation-wide need. Correctly installed, 
they provide dependable and economical pro- 
tection against pipe failures due to rust. Their 
additional cost is slight in relation to the total 
plumbing cost, and negligible in relation to 
the total cost of the home.

ANACONDA "85" RED BRASS PIPE 

REG. U. S. PAT. OFF. 

85% Copper— For Highly Corrosive Waters 



WHERE THE CORROSIVENESS of water IS 
known to be exceptionally severe, a 
permanent water supply can be assured only 
by use of pipe with extraordinary resistance 
to corrosion. 

Such corrosive conditions are very often 
found in localities drawing on mechanically 
filtered supplies without further treatment. 
These waters may be relatively low in hard- 
ness, high in carbonic acid gas content and 
low in alkalinity — pH value 5 to 6.5. Ground 
waters from shallow artesian wells or large 
dug wells and colored waters from peaty 
sources usually fall under this classification. 
There is a growing tendency to treat such 
waters, not only to neutralize the carbonic 
acid gas, but to make the water high in 
alkalinity with pH value around 9 or 10. 
Anaconda 85 Red Brass Pipe is recommended 
for use with such types of water. It offers the 
greatest resistance to corrosion of any water 



pipe commercially obtainable at moderate cost. 

Anaconda 85 Red Brass Pipe is also recom- 
mended for underground service lines as- 
sembled with threaded connections. 

There are certain conditions , depending upon 
the character of the water, when Sj Red Brass 
Pipe should be tinned. Additional information 
furnished on request.

ANACONDA "67" BRASS PIPE 



REG. U. S. PAT. OFF. 



67% Copper— For Normally Corrosive Waters 



4 naconda 67 Brass Pipe can be depended 
jt\. upon to give lasting service in all locali- 
ties where normal conditions prevail; that is, 
where the water has a low permanent hard- 
ness, a fair degree of temporary hardness, is 
low in carbonic acid gas content, or is only 
slightly alkaline. 

Corrosiveness of Water is 
Subject to Change: 

It should be borne in mind, however, that 
the corrosiveness of domestic waters is sub- 
ject to radical changes, due principally to the 
introduction of new purification methods and 



to the need for additional sources of supply to 
meet the constantly growing requirements of 
most communities. As a result, waters that 
are only normally corrosive today may be 
highly so in a few years. 

Consequently , when specifications call for 
standard-size pipe assembled with threaded 
"screw-type" connections. The American Brass 
Company recommends the use of Anaconda 
"85" Red Brass Pipe in every instance where it 
is not definitely known that the water supply is 
only normally corrosive, or where there is a pos- 
sibility that changing conditions may in the 
future increase the corrosiveness of the local 
water supply.

ANACONDA COPPER WATER TUBES 



For Low Cost, Rust-Proof 
Plumbing and Heating Lines 

Where low cost is of primary importance, 
Anaconda Copper Tubes and Anaconda 
Solder-Type Fittings are finding widespread 
use. A complete installation costs but a little 
more than one of short-lived rustable pipe and 
fittings. This low cost is due to the fact that 
solder-type joints eliminate threading — mak- 
ing possible lighter tube walls, less weight 
per foot and a corresponding reduction in 
cost. Labor costs are also minimized. How- 
ever, such important points as thorough 
cleaning, correct heat, proper fluxing and the 
right solder make it imperative to employ 
an experienced plumbing contractor. 

Mechanically, such a piping system pro- 
vides more than ample strength where condi- 
tions of pressure and temperature are normal. 



In this respect, copper tubes are ideally suited 
to hot and cold water lines in houses. 

With rust-proof piping available at such 
reasonable cost, it is evident that its use 
affords definite, worthwhile savings, in addi- 
tion to the convenience of a full flow of rust- 
free water, year in and year out. 

Anaconda Copper Tubes are furnished in 
three wall thicknesses: Types "K", "L" and 
"M". Type "K", the heaviest, is furnished for 
underground service and general plumbing. 
Type "L" Tubes are suitable for interior 
plumbing. Although Type "M" Tubes have 
been used, Types "K" and "L" are preferred 
because their more substantial wall thick- 
nesses provide a greater margin of safety. 

There are certain conditions , depending upon 
the water y when copper tube lines should be 
tinned. Additional information furnished on

FOR HEATING LINES 

Copper Tubes Speed Up 

Circulation, Cut Heat Losses, 

Give Greater Efficiency 

An installation of Anaconda Tubes and 
l Fittings increases the efficiency of hot 
water heating systems. Both tubes and fit- 
tings have smooth inside surfaces which re- 
duce resistance to the flow of water ... a 
feature which is especially valuable in forced 
circulation systems. Hot water, conveyed 
through bright, uninsulated Anaconda Cop- 
per Tubes, loses only about one-half as much 
heat as is lost when uninsulated black iron of 
the same nominal size is used. Heat conserva- 
tion with copper is further increased with the 
use of smaller sizes— because of the faster 
flow which is due to the permanently smooth 
interior of copper tubes. With quicker circu- 
lation and reduced heat losses, maximum heat 
is delivered to radiators in the least possible 
time. 

Another advantage of Copper Tubes is that 
when installed without covering, the gleaming 
metal enhances the appearance of the cellar 
and basement room used for recreational 
purposes. 

Anaconda Solder-Type Fittings 

The natural law of capillary attraction is the 

principle on which the design of Anaconda 

Solder-Type Fittings is based. Metal workers 

have employed this principle for years in 

sweating sections of pipe together. Solder will 

flow by means of capillary attraction vertically 

upward between two closely fitted tubes to a 

height many times the distance required to 

make a solder joint, regardless of the size of 

the fittings. 

* # # 

Anaconda Fittings are available in both 
wrought copper and cast bronze. The com- 




plete Anaconda line includes a solder-type 
fitting for every copper tube requirement in 
plumbing, heating and drainage. Anaconda 
Copper Water Tubes are furnished both hard 
and soft. Both tubes and fittings are made to 
the accurate, standardized dimensions so es- 
sential for sound, leakproof joints. 

Look for the Anaconda trade-mark on 
fittings, and the name "Anaconda" stamped 
in copper tubes. It is your assurance of careful 
manufacture and dependable quality.

STRONG, NON-RUSTING 

EVERDUR METAL 

FOR 





EVERDUR IS A TRADE-MARK OF THE AMERICAN BRASS COMPANY 
REGISTERED IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 



PLENTY OF RUST-FREE HOT WATER 



A plentiful supply of hot water is re- 
. garded as a necessity to health and 
comfort in the home of today. Yet spar- 
kling hot water may be expected, year 
in and year out, only when the hot water 
tank is made of metal that cannot rust. 



This is easy to understand — because hot 
water causes rust to form even faster than 
cold water. 

A glance at the illustrations below reveals 
how rust, once started, continues to attack 
ordinary tank metal. 



EVERDUR — Ideal Tank Metal 

Steel and copper were long the standard materials for hot water 
storage tanks. Each possessed distinct advantages. Steel offered 
high strength and economical fabrication, but was subject to rust 
and corrosion which tainted water, and in time weakened tank 
metal to a point below the limit of safety. Copper has provided 
the corrosion-resistance so often essential to long, economical 
service, but has lacked the physical properties needed for 
economical tank construction. 

Everdur Copper-Silicon Alloy combines the corrosion-resistance 
of pure copper with the tensile strength of mild steel. Moreover, 
its ease of welding makes it possible to manufacture Everdur 
tanks of virtually one-piece construction at lower cost than pure 
copper tanks, which are usually brazed and riveted. 

(15) 




J 



SIZES AND TYPES 

Everdur tanks in service today range in size 
from one gallon fuel containers for gasoline 
stoves to 20,000 gallon pressure vessels oper- 
ating in chemical process work. They are in 
service in laundries, textile plants, hotels, hos- 
pitals, schools, office buildings, apartment 
houses and homes. 

AUTOMATIC HEATERS 

Because Everdur is so strong, and can be so 
economically and perfectly welded, important 
manufacturers of automatic gas, electric and 
oil heaters, with very few exceptions, have 
adopted Everdur tanks as standard equip- 
ment for rustproof models. 

Everdur tanks provide high efficiency and 
most economical operation for underfired hot 
water heaters. There can be no accumulation 
of rust from tank corrosion at the bottom of 
the vessel to insulate the water from the heat- 
ing element. 

Further information on automatic heaters 
with Everdur tanks can be obtained from 
your local Gas or Electric Company, or your 
local plumbing contractor. 

TESTING EVERDUR TANKS 

Everdur tank units for domestic heaters have 
been subjected to the most drastic tests. One 
manufacturer making an all- welded tank from 
Everdur plates applied a test known as the 
"breather." It consists of pulsating pressure 
in the tank from o to 150 pounds, 13 times a 
minute. Five hundred hours of this test are 
considered the equivalent of 20 years of nor- 
mal service. Everdur tanks have been held on 
this test for over 1,000 hours without showing 
signs of leaks or distortion. 

This drastic test demonstrates the great 




Typical welded Everdur tank as used in automatic water heaters. 

strength of Everdur Metal, but it must be re- 
membered that under no circumstances should 
any domestic water tank, regardless of the 
metal of which it is made, be operated with- 
out a suitable pressure relief valve. 



(16) 





EVERDUR STORAGE 

When an automatic storage heater is not used, 
the hot water is generally kept in a storage 
tank, or "range" boiler. Leading manufac- 
turers of such tanks have adopted Everdur 
Metal for non-rust units. 

Used with the different types of independ- 
ent heating units, range boilers in the past

TANKS (Range Boilers) 

have been made principally of steel — although 
copper has always been used in sections of the 
country where the water supply is highly cor- 
rosive. However, welded Everdur tanks have 
offered many production economies, with the 
result that the price differential between the 
rusting and non-rusting kind has been con- 
siderably reduced. 

Home owners, no longer content with rusty 
hot water, or frequent repairs and periodic 
replacements, are installing welded Everdur 
storage tanks. These are generally available 
from plumbing contractors in all standard 
sizes and for standard pressures. 

FUEL TANKS, TOO, 

are being made of Everdur 

Gasoline-fired ranges, stoves, radiant heaters 
and other similar equipment are available with 
fuel tanks of welded Everdur. Being strong, 
and highly resistant to corrosion, Everdur 
gasoline tanks provide maximum safety.

ANACONDA WHITE LEAD 




mmmmmmmi 



ORDINARY 



ANACONDA 



The paint films shown above were prepared by dropping paint on rapidly whirling glass plates y thus retaining a very 
thin film which outlines granular particles. As shown , ordinary lead paints are sandy in comparison with xAnaconda. 



Today as always, white lead paint is regarded 
as best for exterior gloss and interior flat uses. 
Furthermore, at today's low prices (Summer, 
1939) white lead costs no more per gallon than 
most other paints. But, of more importance, 
no paint serves at less cost per square foot per 
year than white lead. White lead covers better, 
goes farther and spreads faster. This means 
fewer gallons and fewer hours on the job. Last- 
ing longer, washing well, wearing evenly, white 
lead leaves a smooth surface for repainting. 

Why ANACONDA White Lead? 

Anaconda White Lead is whiter, brighter, 
smoother, and purer than any other white lead 
—because it is the only white lead made by 
Electro-Chemistry. This patented Anaconda 
process automatically excludes the impurities 
found in ordinary white lead. Rigid control 

ANACONDA WHITE LEAD IS MADE BY INTERNATIONAL 
EAST CHICAGO, INDIANA (SUBSIDIARY 



throughout manufacture permits over 80 
physical, mechanical and chemical tests daily 
to insure perfect uniformity. 

Test comparisons of Anaconda and other 
white leads show that Anaconda is definitely 
whiter and brighter. Homes painted with 
Anaconda White Lead do look fresh longer. 
And for interior flat paints, the extreme white- 
ness of Anaconda White Lead makes possible 
cleaner, purer tints — particularly important 
when you want the full beauty of delicate 
pastel shades. Thoroughly ground in the 
finest linseed oil, it is 
available through lead- 
ing paint jobbers and 
dealers. For further

SEALING 

YOUR HOME 

WITH COPPER 



ANACONDA " £Lectto-Skeei' COPPER 



A recent development by the technical 
staff of the Anaconda Copper Mining 
Company now makes it possible to damp- 
proof and weatherproof your home with non- 
rust copper for very little more than you 
would have to pay for the perishable materi- 
als that have necessarily been used in the past. 
This new material, known as "Electro- 
Sheet", is pure copper produced in very thin 
gauges by electrical deposition. It is strong 
and ductile, and provides a lasting seal against 
wind, weather and moisture. It affords inval- 
uable protection to cellular insulating mate- 
rials. In winter, it keeps cold out and heat in; 
in the summer it helps to keep the house cool. 



"Electro-Sheet" Copper may be employed 
wherever building paper is used, and applied 
by much the same methods. And it costs but 
little more than high grade building paper. 

Applied to foundation walls and cellar 
floors it keeps basements dry. The foundations 
and walls of a house damp-proofed and weather- 
proofed with "Electro-Sheet" are virtually 
encased in an envelope of Copper. 

Anaconda "Electro-Sheet" Copper for 
damp-proofing and weatherproofing is avail- 
able in 30, 50, and 60-inch widths and 
weights of 1, 2 and 3 ounces per square foot, 
bonded to building paper or surfaced with 
asphaltic compounds. 



WEATHER-PROOFING AND DAMP-PROOFING 



It is generally recognized that both comfort 
and heating economy in a home depend to a 
great extent upon the efficiency of the outside 
walls in acting as a barrier against heat, cold, 
wind and dampness. The tendency towards 
equalization of temperatures between the in- 
side and the outside is brought about prin- 
cipally by two causes — infiltration and con- 
duction. 



INFILTRATION is the passing of cold or 
warm air, moisture or dust through the joints 
and pores of ordinary building materials. 

"Electro-Sheet" Copper is not subject to 
deterioration and when applied as shown on 
the next page provides a permanent air- 
tight barrier. It affords the most economical 
and practical method of preventing infiltra- 
tion through the surfaces to which it is applied. 



(19) 



CONDUCTION through a building wall is the 
transference of heat in or out of the building 
due to the tendency of heat to pass through 
all materials in various degrees. 

This may be overcome by installing cellu- 
lar insulating materials, a practice which is 
being followed in many homes being con- 
structed today. 

Since most insulating materials are effective 
only when dry, it is quite important to have 
the insulation protected on the outside by a 
lining of "Electro-Sheet" Copper. 

CLAPBOARD OR WOOD SHINGLE 
EXTERIORS 

Clapboards or wood shingles as commonly 
applied to the exterior sides of buildings are 
never airtight and seldom completely weath- 
erproof. In order to minimize infiltration from 
this type of wall a single ply of i-oz. "Electro- 
Sheet" can be face nailed to the outside of the 
sheathing boards. 

STUCCO EXTERIOR 

Where stucco on metal lath is employed for 
outside wall facing, efficient waterproofing is 
of the utmost importance. One layer of 2-oz. 
"Electro-Sheet" applied in horizontal courses 
against the sheathing and securely held in po- 
sition by furring strips will protect the sheath- 
ing against moisture. 

BRICK OR STONE VENEER EXTERIOR 

Brick or stone veneer outside a wood framed 
and sheathed house represents a common type 
of construction. A single ply of 2-oz. "Electro- 
Sheet" nailed onto the face of the sheathing, 
with the bottom flashed so as to lead any 
moisture penetrating through the veneer to 
the outside, will protect the woodwork from 
water both during construction and after. 
"Electro-Sheet" applied in this way also mini- 



mizes infiltration and makes the wall surfaces 
as nearly airtight as possible. 

ATTIC FLOOR LINING 

Loss of warm air by outward filtration is most 
marked at the roof because of the tendency of 
warm air to rise. By applying a thin mem- 
brane of copper to the top of attic joists, 
clamping the edges of the sheets down with 
furring strips, and nailing the attic flooring 
over the strips, two dead air. spaces are cre- 
ated, which, with the practically airtight cop- 
per membrane, will have a very desirable 
effect as regards heating and air conditioning. 
Maximum efficiency is achieved when this 
construction is used in conjunction with cel- 
lular insulation. The copper will protect the 
insulation from moisture, and will prevent the 
loss of heat by outward filtration. 

VAPOR SEAL AGAINST 
CONDENSATION 

Use of insulation and of air conditioning 
increases the possibility of condensation in 
building walls during cold weather. Tighter 
construction, by not allowing moisture to 
evaporate to the outdoors, also builds up 
higher relative humidities and increases the 
danger of harmful condensation within the 
walls. Under such conditions it is advisable 




Copper Vapor Seal has been fastened to inside of studs 
over insulating material. As this room will be plastered \

(20) 



to provide a vapor seal on the inside of the 
studding as well as a weatherproofing shield 
under the outside covering, particularly 
masonry veneer or stucco. 

The preceding picture shows the application 
of "Electro-Sheet" Copper to the inside edge 
of the studs to serve as a vapor seal. Applied 
as indicated, with all laps tightly clamped, an 
impervious barrier is provided through which 
moisture-laden air cannot percolate to con- 
dense its vapor as water in the walls. At the 
same time this inside seal gives added pro- 
tection against infiltration with a consequent 
saving in fuel. 

CELLAR DAMP-PROOFING AND 
WATER-PROOFING 

The most effective method of cellar water- 
proofing is the application of sheets or layers 
of water-proof material on the outside of the 
cellar walls. This keeps the masonry dry, re- 
sulting in a minimum of movement in the 
structural materials. 

"Electro-Sheet" Copper is ideally suited 
for this use, because it is rust-proof, strong,

ductile and can be applied readily. For water- 
proofing where a hydrostatic head exists, two 
plies of 2 oz. "Electro-Sheet" are usually 
applied with pitch, asphalt or other mastic. 
Where only damp-proofing is wanted, one ply 
should be sufficient. The "Electro-Sheet" is 
also applied to the concrete footing before the 
foundation wall is laid, extending through to 
join the "Electro-Sheet" water-proofing laid 
between the cellar sub-floor and the finished 
floor. This should provide complete protection 
against water and dampness entering the cellar.

Architect Praises "Electro-Sheet" 

... In the building of a frame house 
in Mariemont, Ohio, "Electro-Sheet" Copper 
weighing one ounce per square foot was in- 
stalled between wall sheathing and siding, 
roof sheathing and shingles, and under the 
attic floor. The architect for this house has 
since written: 

"During zero winter weather, this house is very 
easily heated with a hot water system for an 
insulated house of this size. Also, during the 
summer y when temperatures hover around ioo 
degrees, or higher for more than a week, the 
occupants state that the interior of the house is 
quite cool and comfortable. I can freely recom- 
mend copper used in this manner as a very 
economical means of preventing heat losses." 



TERMITE-PROOFING 

The most effective safeguard against termite 
damage is a copper shield inserted between 
the masonry foundation and sills. This shield, 
where it extends beyond the foundation wall, 
should be bent down at a 45 angle allowing 
a minimum of 2 inches between the edge of 
shield and the foundation. 



Copper weighing 16 to 20 oz. per sq. ft. (the 
heavier is less liable to mechanical injury) has 
been used for some time in this manner. The 
material is relatively inexpensive, easily ap- 
plied, highly effective and permanent. Any 
experienced sheet metal contractor can form 
and install copper termite shields.

guards, address The Copper and Brass Research Association, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, N. Y.

WINDOWS 

and 

WEATHERSTRIPS 



BRONZE WINDOWS NOW AVAILABLE AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES 



With attention focused on heat conser- 
vation, insulation, air conditioning and 
other related subjects which all have a bear- 
ing on health, comfort and economy, the win- 
dow rightly comes in for more and more scru- 
tiny. For poorly fitted windows will set to 
naught the efficiency of thorough wall insula- 
tion. Primary requisites of the modern win- 
dow are I. Permanently tight, accurate fit; 
2. Easy operation; 3. Maximum vision. Hence 
metal windows, particularly those of bronze, 
come into their own. Today standardization of 
design and increased production have resulted 
in attractive prices for bronze windows. 

Both double hung and casement type win- 
dows are now available in enduring Bronze. 
Most of these are sold as a unit, complete with 
weatherstripping and glazing. Some double 
hung bronze windows compare favorably in 
price with ordinary wood windows. All offer 
definite advantages, and in general it may be 
said that durability, freedom from upkeep 
expense and important fuel savings more than 
make up for whatever slight extra investment 
is made in bronze windows. 

BRONZE SASH CHAINS 

Double hung windows are usually counter- 
balanced by sash weights at the end of ropes 
or chains operating over pulleys. Bronze sash 
chain is not expensive . . . yet it can never 
fray, rot or rust. Once installed, bronze chains 



insure smoother, easier operation — not for 
just a few years, but indefinitely. 

BRONZE WEATHERSTRIPPING 

Reliable authorities estimate that from 20% 
to 40% of heating costs are wasted every 
winter unless windows and doors are properly 
weatherstripped. Without weatherstripping, 
heat leaks out and cold seeps in — whether the 
windows are wood or metal. (For air-condi- 
tioned buildings, weatherstrips are a neces- 
sity). Surely you can't afford this waste, and 
surely you want the even, comfortable, health- 

////temperature you can maintain by weather- 
stripping. 

And remember that careful, accurate instal- 
lation of strips is all-important. If they aren't 
tight, and don't stay tight year after year, 
their inefficiency reduces your saving. For the 
best and longest service, use bronze. 

Bronze weatherstrips can't rust, can't dis- 
integrate. Tough and strong, they provide 

lasting "spring" qualities and the greatest 

resistance to accidental damage. 

Anaconda Bronze is standard with leading 

manufacturers of metal weatherstrip. It is 

guaranteed by some for the life of the building. 
For weatherstripping doors, extruded bronze 

saddles at the base add the finishing touch to 

the ideal job. They look well; they are tough, 

long wearing and efficient.

From the standpoint of expense, screens of 
Bronze Wire are the most economical you 
can use. Remember that screen wire is very 
fine and quickly rusts through if made of rust- 
able metal. That is why well-built homes 
everywhere are equipped with screens of 
bronze wire. Bronze is strengthened copper. 
It cannot rust. Bronze Screens remain trim 
and tight for years with a minimum of atten- 
tion — they do not even require painting. 

Instances are not exceptional where bronze 
screens have been in service for 30 years and 
are still in good condition. It may be conser- 



vatively stated that the life of Bronze Screen- 
ing is limited only by accidental breakage. 
Yet its cost is so low (only about 40c more 
than rustable screening per full-window), 
that it pays for itself many times over during 
its long years of service. 

Screens with bronze frames are readily 
available from leading manufacturers. Al- 
though costing more than wood frames, 
bronze frames can never warp or split, never 
need painting. They add a note of richness 
and distinction, not only when they are new 
but season after season — indefinitely. 




Exposed side by 
side for the same 
length of time, the 
condition of this 
screen cloth speaks 
for itself. At the end 
of the test, the bronze 
was good as new.

WARNING! 

£Jn5l5t On Standard 
Weight Bronze Screen 
Cloth 



In recent years there has been an increas- 
ing amount of sub-standard bronze screen 
cloth made and sold in the United States. 
Although it represents only a relatively small 
portion of the total, the danger of obtaining 
it unknowingly is ever-present. So make cer- 
tain that your bronze screen cloth is made of 
wire which measures .01 13 inches in diameter. 
This is the standard set in specifications of the 
U. S. Government and the Wire Screen Cloth 
Manufacturers' Institute. Cloth made of this 
standard wire, woven 16 meshes to the inch. 



weighs 15 pounds per 100 square feet. Some 
sub-standard screening weighs but 9^ pounds 
per 100 square feet— a slightly better grade 
12 pounds. The strength of each individual 
strand of wire is of course in direct propor- 
tion to its weight. 

The American Brass Company does not 
make screens or screen cloth, but as the lead- 
ing manufacturer of Bronze Wire for use in 
the fabrication of screen cloth, we naturally 
wish to safeguard the reputation of Bronze 
for "lifetime" service. We are convinced that 
while sub-standard bronze screen cloth will 
satisfactorily resist corrosion, it lacks the 
physical strength to withstand the abuse to 
which all screens are occasionally subjected. 

In your own interest, be sure that your 
bronze screen cloth is made of standard gauge 
wire — that "16-mesh" screening weighs 15 
pounds per 100 square feet. 



Only Standard Weight Bronze Screen Cloth 

• Lies flat — does not bulge and twist 

• Has a firm, solid "feel" — is easier to handle and frame 

• Is a high strength material — does not dent easily 

• Gives the long, expense-free service to be expected of bronze 

• Weighs 15 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. in 16 mesh cloth

CONSULT 
YOUR 
ARCHITECT Jft 



S> 



From the volume of material presented between the covers of this 
book, it must be apparent to most homebuilders that the maze of 
new developments and improved building practices require the advice, 
consultation and planning which only an experienced architect can give. 
This has never been more true than it is today. For who better than your 
architect can coordinate all the information on hundreds of structural and 
engineering advancements, can tell you what is right, what is advisable, 
and then mold all desirable items into a unified whole— a house planned 
and built according to your taste — with everything considered in relation 
to everything else, and nothing left to chance. 

ANACONDA METALS 

No one will question that the better a house is built, the longer it will last, 
and the less it will cost for maintenance and repair in the years that lie 
ahead. In building, we urge you to consider this carefully, and to discuss 
it with your architect, builder and contractors. For sound construction 
goes beneath the surface to unseen things, where so often metals less dur- 
able than copper or brass prove far more costly in the end.

clean and compact heating plant: The No. 11 
Arcoflame Heating Unit in basement at top

HOW ONE MAN'S BASEMENT BECA 

The Jones' found that a growing family needs room for 
many activities. Junior riding his tricycle in the living 
room was not good for either the family or the furniture. 
Their basement offered no solution until they saw pictures 
of what another family had done. Of course! Replace the 
old heating plant with a modern one and they would be 
rid of the dirt and gain the additional space needed! So 
they called their Heating Contractor, selected just the kind 
of American Heating Equipment they wanted, and arranged

WHEN YOU START WITH ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM 




Many folks who write to us for help on planning attractive rooms seek answers 
to the same questions on linoleum. Below we've listed the questions that occur 
most frequently, together with the answers of our decorating experts. We hope 
this story in quiz form will give you the right start to your color schemes. 



ARE LINOLEUM FLOORS EXPENSIVE? 

Linoleum floors are only slightly higher in first cost 
than other fine floors, but they save you money in 
the long run because they never require expensive 
refinishing to keep them attractive. 

ARE LINOLEUM FLOORS SANITARY AND EASY TO CLEAN? 

Yes, see page 5 for details. 

HOW LONG WILL A LINOLEUM FLOOR LAST? 

Armstrong's Linoleum Floors have been in service 
fifteen to twenty years or even longer. Improved 
manufacturing methods should mean even longer 
life for linoleum being made today. Armstrong's 
Linoleum is manufactured to specifications even 
more rigid than U. S. Government standards. 

CAN RUGS BE USED WITH LINOLEUM? 

Certainly. Linoleum is a flooring, not a floor cover- 
ing. Rugs should be used with it, as with any other 
flooring. The handsome colors in a linoleum floor 
bring out the rich beauty of color in fine rugs. Lino- 
leum can be used without rugs, of course ; a feature 
that makes it desirable where the buying of rugs 
must be postponed, or when rugs are stored during 
the hot summer months. 

HOW MANY KINDS OF LINOLEUM ARE THERE? 

There are seven main types: Plain, jaspe, Marbelle, 
Monobelle, Embossed Inlaid, Straight Line Inlaid, 
and Printed. Some of these are illustrated on pages 
6 and 7. Your Armstrong dealer will be glad to show 
you many other attractive colors and patterns. 



WILL THE COLORS WEAR OFF LINOLEUM? 

Except in Printed linoleum, the handsome colors run 
through the full thickness of the composition. 
Therefore, they will last as long as the linoleum itself. 



IN HOW MANY THICKNESSES IS LINOLEUM MADE? 

There are five thicknesses: 6 mm. (about J^-in.); 
Jirin. ; Heavy (J^-in.); Medium (%2-in.); an d 
Standard (%4-in.) gauges. These provide for every 
floor requirement and every budget. 



IS LINOLEUM CORRECT FOR LIVING-ROOMS, DINING-ROOMS, 
BEDROOMS, ENTRANCE HALLS, AND OTHER ROOMS BESIDES 
KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS? 

Yes, Armstrong's Linoleum is being used for every 
room in the house by many of the country's leading 
architects and interior decorators. 



ARE LINOLEUM FLOORS IN GOOD TASTE FOR PERIOD ROOMS, 
SUCH AS SPANISH, EARLY AMERICAN, COLONIAL, ENGLISH, 
SWEDISH, MODERN, ETC.? 

Yes. Properly chosen linoleum floors harmonize 
with every style of interior decoration. 



AREN'T LINOLEUM FLOORS COLD? 

Floors tend to assume the temperature of the room. 
Linoleum is as warm as any other flooring; and 
because it is practically a one-piece floor, it does not 
permit drafts to come in through the floor boards. 
Also, because it is laid over lining felt, linoleum 
retards the escape of heat into cold basements. 



[3 



SUPPOSE NONE OF THE STANDARD PATTERNS SUITS ME? 

If you cannot make a selection from Armstrong's 
standard patterns, you can create individualized 
effects with Armstrong's Custom-Craft design 
elements. See page 8 for suggestions. 



DOES HEAVY FURNITURE DENT LINOLEUM? 

Although linoleum is resilient, heavy furniture 
should always be supported on furniture rests of the 
type recommended by Armstrong. These are sold 
by most stores handling linoleum. 



WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO INSTALL LINOLEUM? 

Over wood subfloors, linoleum should be cemented 
to a layer of Armstrong's Lining Felt, which in turn 
is pasted to the wood base. Where water is likely to 
be spilled, the seams should be protected with 
Armstrong's Waterproof Cement. 



CAN LINOLEUM BE LAID OVER SUSPENDED CONCRETE OR METAL 
FLOORS? 

Yes. The use of Armstrong's Lining Felt over sus- 
pended concrete subfloors is optional, but desirable. 



ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM FLOORS 

WILL MAKE YOUR FINEST [RUGS 

EVEN MORE ATTRACTIVE 




// you wonder whether rugs can be used with a 
linoleum floor — be assured that it is perfectly 
proper to do so. By choosing a linoleum floor 
that is in harmonizing or contrasting colors, you 
can make any good rug seem considerably more 
attractive than is possible with other floorings. 



WHY IS LINING FELT NECESSARY? 

At different seasons of the year, floor boards expand 
and contract. If the linoleum were cemented direct 
to these boards, the movement might tear the 
linoleum or cause it to buckle. Lining felt takes up 
the movement of the boards and thus protects the 
linoleum. It also makes the floor warmer, quieter, 
and more comfortable underfoot. 

CAN LINOLEUM BE LAID IN BASEMENTS— OR OVER WOOD OR 
CONCRETE FLOORS THAT ARE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE 
GROUND ON GRADE? 

Linoleum is not recommended because of the damp- 
ness that is likely to be present in such floors. Arm- 
strong's Asphalt Tile is the only type of resilient 
flooring recommended for these areas. 

WILL LINOLEUM CURL AT THE SEAMS AND WILL THE SEAMS BE 
CONSPICUOUS? 

Properly installed linoleum will not curl, and the 
seams will be practically invisible. Because rolls of 
linoleum are six feet wide and about ninety feet 
long, few seams will be necessary when the material 
is installed in a room of ordinary size. 

SHOULD LINOLEUM FLOORS BE INSTALLED WITH BORDERS? 

Borders are not essential but they are usually de- 
sirable. To make the creation of simple borders 
inexpensive, Armstrong offers ready-cut border 
strips and Linostrips in several convenient sizes. 

IS LINOLEUM A QUIET FLOORING? 

Yes. A resilient linoleum floor is quieter under 
impact and footsteps than hard flooring. 

HOW SHOULD A LINOLEUM FLOOR BE FINISHED AT THE BASE- 
BOARDS? 

Any type of baseboard may be used ; but Armstrong's 
Flash Type Cove and Base is recommended. This 
device provides an attractive curved joining of the 
floor and wall, thus preventing dust from collecting 
and also making sweeping easier. It is offered in 
colors to harmonize with linoleum and Linowall. 

CAN LINOLEUM BE REMOVED AND REUSED? 

Yes, if it is pasted over Armstrong's Lining Felt. 

CAN I LAY LINOLEUM MYSELF? 

We do not recommend it. Linoleum laying requires 
skill and a large assortment of special tools. It is 
more economical and more satisfactory to have the 
work done by an experienced Armstrong merchant, 
in accordance with standard Armstrong specifications. 



[4] 



LINOLEUM 



CAN LINOLEUM BE BOUGHT DIRECT FROM ARMSTRONG? 

No. Armstrongs Linoleum is sold through depart- 
ment and furniture stores, by floor contractors, and 
in specialty shops. For the names of local merchants, 
write to Armstrong Cork Company, Floor Division, 
Lancaster, Pa., or ask your architect or builder. 



WHERE CAN MY ARCHITECT OR BUILDER FIND OUT MORE ABOUT 
ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM? 

Refer him to Sweet's Architectural Catalog or to the 
Builder's Supplement of Home Owners Catalogs. 
We shall also be glad to mail him additional in- 
formation on any of our products. 

1 LIKE LINOLEUM, BUT FOR FINANCIAL REASONS HAVE TO POST- 
PONE BUYING IT FOR A FEW YEARS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER 
ARMSTRONG FLOORS LOWER IN COST? 

Armstrong offers Linoflor, and Quaker and Standard 
Rugs and Floor Coverings, suitable where utmost 
economy is essential, or for temporary installation. 
Although these products are not linoleum, they are 
smooth surface materials in attractive colors. Your 
Armstrong dealer will be glad to show them to you. 



LINOLEUM FLOORS SAVE HOURS 
OF HOUSEWORK 

Whether you do your own housework or employ 
servants, an Armstrong's Linoleum Floor will mean 
more time for other activities. If there are children or 
pets in the house, you will find that the ease of 
cleaning linoleum is a doubly welcome feature. 

WHAT CARE DOES A LINOLEUM FLOOR REQUIRE? 

I f a linoleum floor is kept properly waxed with Arm- 
strong's Linogloss Wax, which requires no rubbing, 
daily dusting will keep it clean and attractive for 
months. Even in kitchens, a properly waxed linoleum 
floor requires comparatively few washings. 

When washing is necessary, Armstrong's Floor 
Cleaner will make the work easier because it was 
specially developed for cleaning linoleum safely and 
quickly. If spilled things are wiped right up, the 
number of washings can be considerably reduced. 

By using Armstrong's Flash Type Cove and Base to 
form a rounded joining of floors and walls, you can 
prevent dust from collecting in corners. 

DO LINOLEUM FLOORS HAVE TO BE REFINISHED? 

No. Armstrong's Linoleum never requires scraping, 
sanding, or other costly, troublesome refinishing. 



CAN LINOLEUM BE USED AROUND TUBS, SINKS, AND OTHER FIX- 
TURES WHERE WATER IS SPILLED? 

Yes. Any seams at these points are made waterproof 
when the linoleum is being installed. Spilled water 
should be wiped up as quickly as possible, however. 



IS LINOLEUM MORE SANITARY THAN BOARD FLOORS? 

Yes. There are no open cracks to collect dust and 
germs. The lining felt, the tightly cemented seams, 
and the large unbroken areas of linoleum prevent 
drafts from rooms below. (This is important where 
children play on the floor.) Many scientists believe 
that linoleum acts as a germicide ; and many prom- 
inent hospitals are large users of linoleum floors.

PLAN NOW TO MAKE YOUR LINOLEUM 

FLOORS MORE INTERESTING 

WITH INSET DESIGNS 

Any linoleum floor, or any wall covered with Arm- 
strong's Linowall, can be made more attractive by 
insetting it with Linosets— i. e., decorative designs cut 
from harmonizing colors of linoleum. 

Armstrong's Linosets, a few of which are shown here, 
make it possible to use inset designs even where building 
or remodeling budgets are extremely limited. Any one 
of these or other handsome Linosets can be installed 
quickly and inexpensively, by your linoleum merchant, 
in new or existing linoleum floors or Linowall. 

These designs were created by the Armstrong Bureau 
of Interior Decoration, which for twenty years has been 
planning distinctive custom-built linoleum floors for 
architects, interior decorators, and home owners. 

INSETS CAN BE MADE TO EXPRESS 
YOUR INDIVIDUALITY 

Below, you will notice a series of inset designs con- 
sisting of simple elements— circles, scrolls, petals, and 
rosettes— arranged in interesting combinations. If you 
prefer a highly individualized floor, you can combine 
these and other simple elements into a colorful design 
that is entirely of your own creation. Your local lino- 
leum merchant will gladly assist you in the preparation 
of this design. There is a Custom-Craft linoleum floor 
to fit every interior and every pocket book. Where 
even more intricate linoleum designs are desired, 
Armstrong merchants can supply them to order. 



c -^-x^o-o-^u. 




For instance, the linoleum in your reception hall 
could be inset with your coat-of-arms or monogram. 

In nurseries or playrooms, a clever idea is to have 
silhouettes of interesting figures cut from different 
colors of linoleum and inset in the floor or Linowall. 

In bathrooms, floors or walls can be inset with sail- 
boats, tropical fish, water lilies, mermaids, or other 
nautical motifs. In upstairs recreation rooms, game- 
board floors can be made from various colors of lino- 
leum; in basements, from various colors of asphalt tile. 




Typical linoleum inset. Field is eggplant; disc is deep 
rose; scrolls, pearl gray. 



Against pearl gray and fawn diamonds, rosettes are 
white with dark gray centers. 



Discs and petals form this inset. Colors are terra cotta, 
white, and chartreuse.

PROVIDES PERMANENT WALL BEAUTY 
AT A SUBSTANTIAL SAVING 

With Linowall, you can have a permanent wall 
covering that is soilproof and washable — at about 
half the cost of hard tile, marble, and other permanent 
materials. Linowall can be installed in almost any 
color or multicolor combination that you desire, 
either with or without the various kinds of inset de- 
signs that are described on pages 8 and 12. 

WHAT IS LINOWALL? 

Linowall is a linoleum-like wall covering. It consists 
of a smooth facing of inlaid composition securely 
bonded to a strong, flexible fabric backing. 

HOW LONG WILL LINOWALL LAST? 

Linowall is a truly permanent wall covering. Unless 
damaged by fire or harsh cleaners, or willfully 
defaced, it never has to be replaced. It does not 
crack or chip when bumped by furniture. It does 
not "craze"; and it withstands moderate settling of 
walls without cracking or buckling. No refinishing 



is required to keep Linowall neat, attractive, and 
in perfect condition for years of dependable service. 

IS LINOWALL EASY TO CLEAN? 

Since it is washable, Linowall is remarkably easy to 
clean. Its special factory-finish sheds dirt and pre- 
vents ordinary staining and spotting from oil, 
grease, water, smoke, or ink. Finger marks, dust, 
and cobwebs brush off easily. A cloth dampened 
with water or mild soapsuds quickly makes Lino- 
wall as clean and sanitary as new. 

IS LINOWALL FADEPROOF? 

Sunlight does not fade Linowall any more than it 
affects linoleum. This is an important advantage, 
considering that a Linowall installation lasts for years . 

IS LINOWALL WATERPROOF AND SUITABLE FOR SHOWER STALLS, 
LAUNDRIES, ETC.? 

Linowall is moistureproof and is not affected by 
steam. Seams also are waterproofed when the 
Linowall is installed. Therefore, Linowall can be 
used in shower stalls, kitchens, and laundries

WHY IS LINOWALL MORE DESIRABLE THAN OTHER TILE, MARBLE, 
AND WOOD SUBSTITUTES? 

The pleasing colors of Linowall extend clear through 
the composition to the fabric backing. Linowall is 
approximately 3ie" thick; whereas many tile and 
marble substitutes have a surface finish consisting 
of a film only a few thousandths of an inch thick. 
Linowall, therefore, has more 
in-built durability and retains 
its original beauty indefinitely. 

Costing only about half as much 
as other permanent materials, 
Linowall often makes it possible 
to cover two rooms for what 
one would cost otherwise. No 
painting is required. Hence, 
painting costs are eliminated. 

IN HOW MANY COLORS IS LINOWALL 
AVAILABLE? 

Linowall is supplied in twenty- 
two patterns. These include a 
variety of colors and interesting 
textures, including marbleized, 
block, semi-plain, and wood 
effects. A few of these are 
illustrated in this book. 

WHERE CAN LINOWALL BE USED? 

Linowall is suitable for many 
rooms in a home: kitchens, 
baths, nurseries, living-rooms, 
dining-rooms, bedrooms, recep- 
tion halls, dens, recreation 
rooms, and powder rooms. 

IS; LINOWALL REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR 
LIVING-ROOMS AND DINING-ROOMS? 



applied over new or old plaster that is in sound 
condition, as well as over certain types of wallboards. 

MUST WALLS THAT ARE TO BE COVERED WITH LINOWALL BE OF 
SPECIAL OR MORE EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION? 

No. Linowall does not require a better wall than is 
required by other coverings. Sound, dry plaster with 
a smooth, well-bonded white 
coat is all that is necessary. 




With Armstrong s Linowall, smart 
decorative insets like the one above 
can be produced at moderate cost by 
any good craftsman. This flexible, 
resilient linoleum-like composition 
can be inlaid or appliqued with 
glass, metal, carved wood, or carved 
linoleum designs. 



Yes. From the wide assortment 

of patterns, suitable effects are 

easily selected for the most dignified rooms. The 

wood designs (No. 735 Pine, No. 736 Walnut, and 

No. 900 Knotty Pine) and also the burl grainings — 

such as No. 737 Parchment and No. 738 Sage — 

are particularly appropriate for such rooms. 

WHY SHOULD I USE KNOTTY PINE LINOWALL INSTEAD OF REAL 
WOOD THAT HAS BEEN ANTIQUED? 

Knotty Pine Linowall has all the charm, softness 
and depth of aged wood. There are no knots to become 
loose, nor boards to open due to shrinkage. Linowall 
can be installed more quickly than wood and without 
removing plaster. Furthermore, when you see a 
sample of Knotty Pine Linowall, you know that the 
finished wall will be in exactly the same coloring. 
This certainty is not always possible when new 
knotty pine wood is antiqued to your order. 

HOW IS LINOWALL INSTALLED? 

Linowall is installed by cementing it to the wall sur- 
face with Armstrong's Linowall Paste. It can be 



CAN LINOWALL BE CURVED AROUND 
INSIDE OR OUTSIDE CORNERS? 

Yes. The flexibility of Linowall 
permits it to be curved, without 
seams, around inside or outside 
corners. Curved corners are 
decorative and easy to clean. 

CAN LINOWALL BE INSTALLED IN BASE- 
MENT LAUNDRIES OR GAME ROOMS? 

Linowall should not be ce- 
mented to basement wails that 
are in direct contact with the 
ground, but it may be applied 
to a false wall erected against 
furring strips, with space for 
air to circulate behind it. If a 
basement is damp, do not in- 
stall Linowall before consulting 
your architect or builder. 

CAN LINOWALL BE INLAID WITH LINOSETS 
OR SPECIAL DESIGNS? 



Yes. Linowall can be inexpen- 
sively inlaid with other colors 
of Linowall, or with linoleum 
Linostrips, and Custom-Craft 
Linosets (see page 8). It can be 
inset with coats-of-arms, mono- 
grams, hand-carved plaques 
of linoleum, wood, or metal; or it can be appliqued 
with glass and metal. Armstrong's Bureau of Interior 
Decoration will furnish you with other suggestions. 

HOW CAN I BUY LINOWALL? 

Linowall is sold and installed by department stores, 
furniture stores, flooring contractors, and specialty 
shops. Orders must be placed through these dealers. 
Linowall is not sold direct to the user. For names of 
local Linowall dealers, write to Armstrong Cork 
Company, Floor Division, Lancaster, Pa. 

WHERE CAN MY ARCHITECT OR BUILDER FIND OUT MORE ABOUT 
INSTALLING LINOWALL? 

Tell him that Linowall is described in Sweet's Archi- 
tectural Catalog or in the Builder s'^Supplement of 
Home Owners Catalogs. If you care to send us his 
name and address, we shall be glad to furnish com- 
plete specifications, samples, and other data.

YOU CAN CONVERT YOUR BASEMENT 
INTO A FAMILY FUN CENTER 
WITH ASPHALT TILE FLOORS 

The first step in planning your 
basement playroom is to find some 
attractive but low-cost covering 
for the hard, dusty concrete floor. 
Because even the driest basements 
are damp at times, materials like 
linoleum, rubber, cork, or carpet- 
ing are not recommended. Painting 
the concrete is seldom satisfactory and still leaves 
the floor cold and hard. Likewise a wood floor is 
unsatisfactory and expensive. 

In asphalt tile, however, many home owners have 
found an inexpensive solution to this problem. The 
following questions and answers will tell you why. 

WHY IS ASPHALT TILE THE ONLY RESILIENT FLOORING YOU RECOM- 
MEND FOR BASEMENTS? 

The materials used in making asphalt tile are not 
affected by dampness as are the materials in lino- 
leum, cork, or rubber floorings. Therefore, asphalt 
tile is the only type of resilient flooring that is 
satisfactory for basements or other areas in direct 
contact with the ground. 

IS ASPHALT TILE EXPENSIVE? 

No. It costs less than other resilient floorings. That 
is, you not only get a more moisture-resistant floor, 
but also a thicker one for the money. 

CAN ASPHALT TILE BE BOUGHT WITH TIME PAYMENTS? 

Yes, through the Armstrong Finance Plan. Your 
Armstrong contractor will give you full details. 

I HAVE SEEN FLOORS WITH GAME BOARDS PAINTED ON THEM. 
CAN I DO THIS WITH ASPHALT TILE? 

Do not paint the game boards on asphalt tile. In- 
stead, have the pieces of tile laid so that the different 
colors form the game board designs you want. A 
built-in board of this kind never has to be refinished 
because the colors run through the full thickness. 

IS ASPHALT TILE FIRE-RESISTANT? 

Yes. One of the materials used in it is asbestos. 

WHAT ABOUT CIGARETTE BURNS? 

Marks left by burning cigarettes or matches are 
easily removed from asphalt tile by rubbing the sur- 
face lightly with a fine grade of steel wool. 




DOES THE CONCRETE HAVE TO BE LAID WITH A MEMBRANE WATER- 
PROOFING IF ASPHALT TILE IS TO BE INSTALLED? 

No. Any dry concrete floor is suitable for asphalt 
tile if the concrete is not subject to hydrostatic 
pressure or other factors causing excessive moisture. 

CAN I USE ASPHALT TILE TO WATERPROOF MY BASEMENT? 

No. Asphalt tile, while moisture-resistant, is not a 
waterproofing and should not be used as such. 

IS ASPHALT TILE A BASEMENT FLOORING ONLY? 

No. It may be used in any 
area of a house where an 
attractive, low-cost flooring 
is desired. In basementless 
" California -type " homes, 
where the concrete' slab is 
in direct contact with the 
ground, asphalt tile should 
be used instead of linoleum. 

WHERE CAN I GET HELP IN PLANNING MY ASPHALT TILE FLOOR? 

Any Armstrong contractor handling our asphalt 
tile will be glad to assist you ; or write to the Arm- 
strong Bureau of Interior Decoration, Lancaster, Pa. 

HOW SOON CAN ASPHALT TILE BE LAID OVER FRESHLY INSTALLED 
CONCRETE? 

The actual time varies. The important thing is to 
have the concrete surface thoroughly dry. Roughly, 
a month should be allowed for setting and drying of 
new concrete if the basement is heated and well 
ventilated; otherwise, wait longer. 

IS ASPHALT TILE EASY TO KEEP CLEAN? 

Yes. Dry-mopping and occasional washing and wax- 
ing will keep it fresh and attractive for years. 

IS ASPHALT TILE SMOOTH ENOUGH FOR DANCING OR SHUFFLE- 
BOARD? 

If asphalt tile is waxed, it forms an excellent floor for 
dancing or shuffleboard. If, however, the room is to 
be used for ping-pong or similar games, the asphalt 
tile may be left unwaxed for steadier footing. 

I HAVE SEEN ASPHALT TILE FLOORS BUT THE COLORS WERE DULL. 
ARE YOURS ANY BETTER? 

We'll leave that up to you, 
but we predict that our 
thirty-seven handsome plain 
and marble colors will give 
you a new respect for as- 
phalt tile. As a bit of pre- 
view, we show a few of these 
colors on the facing page.

How much do you care for your 
children? Do you care enough 
to make sure that the floor is 
sufficiently warm so that they can 
at any time play around on it? 
If you do care that much, then 
the friendly suggestions that fol- 
low will mean a lot to you. 



The friendly way 
we will help you 



with your Heatinq 



IN the first place, let's forget all tech- 
nical talk. Let's have no discussions 
about "impinging fire surfaces" and all 
that sort of silly lingo. 

Let's just sort of sit down together, as 
you would with one of your neighbors who 
dropped in for an evening, and chat as you 
then would if the talk turned to heating. 
When you consider that for a large por- 
tion of the year, so much of your home's 
comfort depends on the heating, its impor- 
tance among first considerations is obvious. 
Vet so many actually leave it until the last. 
You may get accustomed to the short- 
comings of ineffective heating, but your 
friends and guests don't. You may get over 



grouching about your fuel bill, but the 
cause is there just the same. 

It is, year after year, costing you more 
than it need. You are actually spending a 
certain amount of your money for which 
you get no returns. Which wouldn't you 
say, is the same as throwing it away? 

So don't compromise with your heating. 
Skimp other places if you must, but have 
your heating right, so you can have both 
contentment of mind and comfort of body. 
You will find this book is a friendly help. 
Anything not covered that you want to know 
about, don't hesitate to write us. You will 
get a prompt answer. Furthermore you will 
find us friendly, pleasant people. A point you 
will appreciate.

Some iriendly suggestions 
as to ways of keeping down 

Heatina Costs 



■ LLOW US TO SAY AT THE START, 
that merely keeping down the cost 
of your heating does not mean you 
are keeping down heating costs. 

Let us explain. The cost of your heating 
is what the outfit costs complete to put in. 
The heating cost, is what it cost to put in, 
plus what it keeps on costing, day after day 
to run it. Suggest reading that over. 

Here is how it works. Generally speak- 
ing the cost of the heating averages around 
9 J / 2 percent of the total cost of your home. 

If, however, to save a few dollars at the 
start, by skimping a bit here and there on 
size of your radiators ; or allow yourself to 
be convinced that a smaller boiler will do 
the work, than the figures show is needed, 
your heating costs are always going to be 
too high. 

Not only too high, but you won't get the 
heat comfort you want and have a right to 



have. It means forever forcing and pushing 
the boiler. When you do that, an excessive 
amount of heat is sent up the chimney in- 
stead of into your radiators. 

Even if that heat didn't go up the chim- 
ney, a radiator of a certain size can do only 
so much heating in a given time. You can't 
get a quart out of a pint bottle. So it all 
means you must not only run your boiler 
harder, but keep it burning full blast longer. 

You may save a few first dollars in con- 
senting to skimp your radiation or your 
boiler, but you will pay for that saving over 
and over, by the extra fuel you must burn, 
and still not have the cosy comfort heat you 
have a right to have. Such crowding of your 
boiler also shortens its life. 

So save your money and insure your con- 
tentment by having plenty of radiation and 
an ample size boiler. Don't let anybody talk 
you out of it. Be firm on that. 




It's funny the way some men have of blam- 
ing their wives, for what they are to blame 
themselves. They will insist on having all 
the say about selecting the heating, and 
then grouch to her if it isn't satisfactory, 






Y 




Now let's get Systems 
Out of our System 

|alk to most of your friends about how best to heat your 
house and what happens? Some will mention this or that sys- 
m tern. Others dwell on the fuel and talk the advantages of oil 
over coal, and gas over oil. The next one you ask is "all het up" on the 
advantages of having a stoker and using cheap fuel. And so it goes. 
A surprising few seem to consider of much importance what goes 
to make up one system, or another. Or the best boiler for your par- 
ticular needs. 

Of first importance to you, is what kind of an outfit is best adapted 
to your needs and pocketbook. It is both the starting and the stopping 
point so far as you are concerned. 

Of course, for one reason or another, you may prefer steam over hot 
water. But what you may like, doesn't prove it is the best for your 
home, all things considered. 

In any event, the heart of any heating system; and the efficiency of 
burning any fuel, largely lies with the boiler. Therefore, start right, 
right at the start, with the right boiler. 

Naturally every boiler maker claims his is the best. But it is just 
common sense that all of them can't be best. Some one of them, how- 
ever, is the best one for your needs and pocketbook. 

We believe it is a Burnham. We know there is a Burnham for every 
need and pocketbook, and we know how effectively Burnhams give you 
cosy comfort heat. We have been making Burnhams since 1873. 

Then let's Systematically 

look into the Systems 

Chere are four main systems, the heart of which is a boiler. 
Let's look into the points of each and see if we can't help you 
to make a selection of the one system best adapted to your par- 
ticular needs and pocketbook. 

1. STEAM 

Lowest in cost of installation. Quick to respond. Quick to heat. Costs 
less than water because of one line, instead of two, of pipe that most 
hot water systems require. Because of high temperature of steam, 
radiators can be smaller than for water. 

Steam's limitations are, that unless you have it equipped with the 
right kind of venting valves on the mains and radiators, you won't get 
a bit of heat until the water is at boiling point and steam pressure is 
produced. Below that point you burn fuel without any return. 

That's why so many steam heated homes, become so quickly chilly 
when the heat is shut off. There is no hold over heat in the radiators. 

2. VAPOR-STEAM COMBINATION 

By this combination, we mean a one pipe steam system, the mains and 
radiators of which are fully equipped with automatic air venting valves. 
Not the usual kind, but Burnham's that not only let the air out, but 
prevent its returning. 



That means, the air pressure in the system will be so reduced, that 
the boiling point of the water is lowered, and the hot vapor will circu- 
late freely before there is any actual steam. 

You get heat several degrees before the boiling point is reached. 
With but a moderate fire, radiators will keep continuously hot. 

These Burnham let-out-keep-out air valves, do cost a bit, but will 
pay for themselves the first season in actual fuel saved. They are sure 
enough your thrift friends. 

3. VACUUM STEAM 

This is sort of a glorified steam system, having both flow and return 
pipes, as with hot water. It is equipped with special valves and steam 
traps which preserve a partial vacuum in the entire system. Sometimes 
on the larger installations vacuum pumps are used. 

The boiling point of the w T ater, because of the reduced air pressure, 
is greatly lowered, and the hot vapor circulates unhindered. Each 
radiator is equipped with a handy valve, giving a graduated control 
of the heat. Also a steam trap to keep heat in the radiators. 

Its cost is higher than the other systems, but the convenience of 
control, comfort assured, and fuel saved, some feel warrant it. 

4. HOT WATER 

The minute there is any heat in the water, that minute it starts circu- 
lating, and you get heat from the radiators. It is a delightful low tem- 
perature heat. 

The ordinary gravity hot water system is a bit slow to respond. But 
that can be successfully overcome by use of a noiseless, electric pump 
which speeds up the circulation, making hot water heat practically as 
flexible as steam. Because of the water averaging not above 1 80 degrees, 
the radiators must be larger to give an equivalent heating surface to 
that of steam at 212. 

Each radiator has two pipes — one to bring the hot water from the 
boiler to the radiators ; the other to take the cooled water back. 

Of late however, there have been such great improvements made, 
that now you can have automatic hot water heat, with only the one 
pipe, same as for steam. 

It's accomplished by using the circulator mentioned a moment ago. 
In addition, every radiator is connected to a wizard like Venturi Fit- 
ting. It's an odd looking little affair, that in a sort of magic noiseless 
way, does the work of a pump. It speeds up the circulation of water 
through each radiator. That means much quicker and more uniform 
heating. 

There's nothing about that Venturi Fitting to wear out. Has no 
moving parts, springs or valves. Works on an old principle discovered 
way back years ago, and now being applied extensively. 

With our 40% less room taking Slenderized radiators, you can now 
have hot water heat, taking no larger radiators than used to be used 
for steam. 

Bear in mind that this one pipe system is for use with automatic 
heat, using oil, gas or stoker fired coal and thermostatically controlled. 



5. UNIT AIR CONDITIONING 

Any of these four systems can in a very simple, low-cost way, be made 
a complete winter air conditioning system. It can be done just as 
effectively with any existing radiator system as for a new one. You'll 
find all you need to know about it on pages 16 and 17.

is point 

Consider Automatic Heat 
If s so well worth considerinq 




This is the thermostat. You set it at 
whatever temperature you want, and it 
does the rest, Does it day and night. 
Just set it, and forget it. But it will 
never forget. Never goes to sleep. 



j f for no other reason, than making sure of contentment 
X, of mind and comfort of body, automatic heat is worth its 
^^^™ price to you. 

It certainly does effectually take the fuss and cuss out of heating 
your home. 

Perhaps a better name for it might be "Magic Heat", for it is 
almost uncanny the way an innocent little box affair called a. ther- 
mostat, conveniently located on the wall, can take the whole bother 
of heat watching off your hands. 

You set it at the temperature you want, and it does the rest. 

Automatic heat is a positive success with gas, oil, or stoker-fired 
coal. It costs no more in the end than other heats, that do so 
much less for you. Costs no more, because you get so much more 
24-hours-a-day comfort out of it. 

Another thing distinctly in its favor, is that you can have all year 
around hot water for your kitchen and bath from the one boiler. 

Does away entirely with the need of a separate hot water heater. 
It's an exclusive advantage however to be had only with radiator 
heating. It's not possible with any warm air system. 

Gas is the most completely automatic of all, because after the 
supply pipe is connected, you give it no further thought. 

Your oil distributors will fill oil tank and see that it is kept 
full at all times, relieving you of even that one last bother. 

In some sections, by using a stoker, you can save considerable on 
your fuel costs, as it will burn a low cost coal. 

As far as we are concerned, Burnham make boilers, each designed 
to best burn any of the three fuels. 

So again it simmers down, to selecting the fuel and the Burnham 
which best meets your particular needs and pocketbook. 

If you can, by all means put in some one of the three automatic 
heats. You will then be assured of carefreeness and an absolute 
contentment of mind and comfort of body. 



Now let us look into 

The Fuels 

that are 

the best for uou 



T 



GAS 

Gas is the most fully automatic of all fuels. No bin or tank to fill. 
No ashes. No odors. Where natural gas is available and in many 
localities where there is a low gas rate for heating, the cost is not 
at all excessive. After the pipes are connected you can forget every- 
thing. The thermostat and other automatic devices do the rest. 

OIL 

So far as convenience and freedom from all care is concerned, oil 
comes next to gas for automatic heating. All you need to remem- 
ber, is to keep an eye on the oil supply. Even that, in some locali- 
ties, is taken care of by the oil concerns. All standard makes of oil 
burners are now so highly perfected, you can't go wrong on oil 
heat. But it is important to have the right boiler. Our new all fuel 
Yello-Jacket "that stings the fuel bill", gives a highly satisfactory 
result with oil. See page 20 for description and illustrations of this 
truly remarkable boiler. We have a catalog devoted especially to 
this fuel stinging boiler. Send for it. 

COAL 

In some instances coal has it all over both gas and oil so far as 
cost is concerned. But its bugaboo always was the necessity of 
hand shoveling it into the boiler, and the temper-testing taking out 
of the ashes. But the automatic stokers have now taken care of that 
to the queen's taste. They automatically feed the coal to the fire 
from either your bin or a hopper. The ashes are at the same time 
deposited in dust-tight cans for easy removal. You can use a low 
price fuel, generally making a considerable saving. With stoker firing 
you can have automatic heating of your hot water supply, during 
both summer and winter, the same as with gas or oil. The Burnham 
coal boilers, because of their extra long fire travel, are highly satis- 
factory with either hand or stoker firing. It's that long fire travel 
that makes their short fuel bill. 

As for the comparative cost of oil, gas and coal, you can readily 
see all depends on conditions where you live. 




A 






Then arises that little-big question 

of Radiators 



Eappily for you the day is past when radiators 
have to be ugly, stick-out-in-the-room objection- 
ables. Made the Burnham Slenderized way, you 
only feel the comfort they give and scarcely notice their 
existence. 

So narrow are they — Slenderized describes them — 
that you can recess them between the uprights in the 
wall and they will not be in the room at all. 

The surprising thing is, that small as these slender- 
ized radiators are (40% smaller) they actually heat 
40% quicker. 

Take this room pictured below. It used to have one 
of those "mountains of iron" kind of radiators and 
seldom was comfortable. 



It was replaced by one of our Slenderized Radiators 
of the same capacity, placed under the window between 
two bookcases. Over it is a handy shelf. The woodwork 
is natural color, shellac-finished, rubbed to a dull glow. 
The radiator was painted with a thin wash of brown, 
toning in perfectly. In the photograph naturally the 
radiator shows up more than it actually does, because 
we took it that way on purpose. 

Here's something of greatest importance. The room 
now not only heats perfectly but with a surprising quick- 
ness. And another thing, these Slenderized Radiators of 
ours give you both radiant and convected heat. An im- 
portant thing if you want quick, economical results. 




Here is one of the many sorts of things you can do with the Slenderized Radiator. How attractively it tucks 
away under the window shelf. These radiators are made in various sizes and shapes "to fit places". 




Left, What an eye-sore is 
that wide ugly looking old- 
time radiator in this care- 
fully designed Colonial hall. 
How conspicuous and en- 
tirely "out of keeping". 



Right, Finally the owner 
revolted and "yanked out" 
the old radiator, cut a re- 
cess and put in one of the 
new Burnham Slenderized 
Radiators which is flush to 
the face of the wall. Does 
not stick out at all into the 
hall. What a difference! 





OPEN FRONT RECESSED RADIATOR 

The Slenderized Radiator being only 
4^ inches deep, a recess space can be 
made between the studding under the 
window, and the radiator set in it en- 
tirely out of the way. So good looking 
is this radiator, it is being used ex- 
tensively without panel front or grille. 




THE OLD AND THE NEW 

The Slenderized one at the right is 40% 
smaller, still it heats 40% quicker. Be- 
sides it's more attractive in its chaste 
design. And that's important. 




RECESSED WITH RADIANT PANEL 
FRONT 

The Slenderized Radiator can be used 
with the Burnham Radiant front panel. 
The lower portion of the panel is en- 
tirely open and the radiator itself acts 
as the grille, giving off radiant heat. 
The grille at the top gives you con- 
vected heat, which is an ideal combina- 
tion giving quicker heating results. 



IT'S CONCLUSIVE 

CU° ALL these things are what the new 
j^ Burnham Slenderized Radiators will do 
I for you. Although so much smaller, they 
are far more efficient than the big ugly ones, that 
are so utterly impossible in present day homes. 
The new good-looking Burnhams cost practically 
the same as the old ugly ones. Think of that. 

Just a word more. The old-time radiators stick 
out in the room 10 to 12 inches. The Burnham 
Slenderized ones, no further than your forefinger 
is long. And let us say again, that in a recess space 
of \y 2 inches between the studding under your 
windows, the Slenderized Radiator will fit in en- 
tirely out of the way. Its front will be flush with 
your walls. So finely designed and finished are 
they, that you need no grille in front of them. 
They are their own grilles. And another thing. 
These Slenderized Radiators so recessed are highly 
efficient. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 





Above Photo 
If you were not actually looking for the 
radiator in this room, you just wouldn't 
know it was there. When you did dis- 
cover it, you would have the impression 
not of a radiator, but an unobtrusive, 
carefully designed grille. Such is what 
can be accomplished with Burnham 
Slenderized Radiators. 

Photo at Left 
This photo shows the way the old type 
radiators stick out. This one in a bed 
room is actually a foot deep, besides 
setting out two inches from the wall. 
That makes 14 inches into the room. 
Yet it is no larger than the usual style 
of radiator has to be. You would 
scarcely have noticed it, if it had been a 
Burnham Slenderized. 






Why it's important to heat with Radiators 
giving you Both Radiant and Convected Heat 



.^2 




Prove It Yourself 



Just to prove to yourself that radiant heat travels 
in straight lines and is not the least influenced by 
drafts, try this experiment. Take an electric bowl- 
type heater such as are so often used in bathrooms. 
It gives off only radiant or straight-line heat. Now 
about two feet away place an electric fan so that 



the breeze will blow directly across the path of the 
radiant heat from the bowl. Hold your hand as 
shown above. You will find that no matter whether 
the fan is going or not, you feel the same amount 
of heat on your hand. 




|sn't it so, that just because those 
words convected and radiant 
sound so sort of technical like, 
that mostly folks haven't bothered to 
know how important they are? 

But they are important, and really 
not at all technical. Here is just a plain 
every day explanation of them. 

Radiant Heat travels in straight 
lines. For instance, the radiant heat 
from a radiator does absolutely no heat- 
ing of the air through which it passes. 
It must first strike something like a 
chair, table, the wall or yourself, and be 
reflected before it does any heating. 
Radiant heat rays are not affected by 
drafts or air currents in the room. These 
sun-like rays travel straight through. 
It is exactly the same brand of heat that 
the sun gives off. The air through which 
it passes is not heated in the least. That 
is proven by the fact that the higher you 
get in the mountains, or away from the 
earth in an aeroplane, the colder it is. 
Naturally it would seem that being 
nearer the sun it should be warmer. It 
is because the sun's radiant rays heat 
the earth only when they strike it and 
are reflected back, 

Convected Heat is entirely differ- 
ent. Let's go back to the radiator for an 
example. It gives off radiant heat in 
straight lines. It also heats by convec- 
tion. That means it directly heats the 
air that comes in contact with and rubs 
against the surface of the radiator. 



CEILING 




Both Heats at Work 

This sketch shows you in red lines 
how the radiant heat from a radiator 
travels. The black lines show the ac- 
tion of the convected heat. It is the 
combination of them both, that makes 
Burnham radiator heating systems so 
much quicker and more economical 
than any others. 



The minute the air is heated, it starts 
to rise in a more or less circulatory or 
wavelike manner. 

Because it first rises towards the ceil- 
ing, not until the air up there is the 
same temperature as the heat itself, does 
it start coming down to do its job of 
heating the lower parts of the room. 

So you now at once see, that while 
the radiant straight line heat from the 
radiator has been warming up the walls 
and lower parts of the room by reflec- 
tion, the convected heat has been heat- 
ing the upper parts by circulation. 

Both finally come together. It is obvi- 
ous that when you have the combina- 
tion of both these heats, given off by 
radiators, you get far quicker heating 
results. 

Warm air systems give you only con- 
vected heat, which works from top of 
room down. 

Radiators heat from both the bottom 
and the top, and meet in the middle, so 
to speak. That's why they give you such 
quick heating. 

It's at the windows that the cold 
air comes into a room. With radiators 
you can locate them under the windows. 
Then the cold air filtering in is heated 
before it circulates in the room. That's 
why with a Burnham radiator system 
you can sit by a window with such con- 
tented comfort.

How to keep out of it 
by Keeping in it 



ext to poor coffee and cold soup, what is more exas- 
perating than the failure to have enough hot water, 
| when you want it? It has doubtless caused more grouch- 
ing than anything else about "living home". 

Of course, to have good coffee you must first start with enough 
coffee ; you know that's just good sense. 

By the same token, if you would make sure of having enough 
hot water, you must first see that your supply source is large 
enough. So don't skimp on it to save a dollar or two. 

Then make doubly sure your way of heating it will do the job 
you want done. 

It is a funny thing, that important as hot water is in every 
home, so many folks will, for instance, cut costs on the equipment 
by cutting down on size of tank, or skimping on size of the heat- 
ing part. 

Cut down on the size of your pet closet, but whatever you 
do, see to it you will have all the hot water you need. Not only 
have it at certain times — but all the time. 

Below are described the four different ways to make sure of 
having it all the time. 

1. INDEPENDENT HEATER 

Have a Burnham hot water supply boiler connected directly to 
the supply tank. It is surprising how little fuel they burn and 
how much hot water they give, 

2. OUTSIDE INDIRECT HEATER 

This is a copper coil, enclosed in a cast iron casing, through 
which the water from the boiler circulates. The coil portion is 
directly connected to the supply tank, heating it. This Indirect 
Heater can be connected to the outside of any boiler and it will 
give highly satisfactory results. You can get these Taco Indirect 
Heaters from us. 

3. BURNHAM-TACO TANK 

The copper coil heater and tank are combined in one. It is 
connected directly to the boiler. One of the most economical 
and satisfactory methods. 

4. BURNHAM TANKLESS TACO HEATER 

No storage tank is needed. The Taco instantaneously heats the 
water as drawn. This Tankless can be attached to the outside 
of any boiler. Our Yello-Jacket has it built inside. It's a direct 
part of the boiler. 

5. BURNHAM-TACO BILT-IN WATER HEATERS 

Both our cast iron and steel Oil Boilers have Taco Heaters 
built right into the Boiler for year 'round supply of piping hot 
water for Bath, Kitchen, and Laundry. 

6. BURNHAM-TACO HEADER HEATER 

Is used with our Conversion Boilers for Summer-Winter Hot 
Water. It is connected to all the sections just below the waterline 
where the water is hottest. It is an ideal fix.

Just a Word About 
the Oil Burning 

STEEL BOILER 




This photograph of the complete boiler 
shows you the neat and trim lines of the 
jacket. Pleasing, wouldn't you say? 







We took one side of the jacket off 
and cut open the boiler to get this 
picture. Notice the two passes of 
tubes, the copper coil, Taco Water 
Heater located in the hottest place 
at the top, also that the water in 
the boiler extends clear under and 
around the combustion chamber. 



Eor those who prefer steel boil- 
ers we have a specially designed 
Steel Oil-Burning Boiler of the 
efficient "Scotch Marine Type." 

It is an unusually economical and 
attractive boiler, completely welded 
into one strong compact unit and en- 
closed in a good-looking two-tone red 
and grey jacket. 

Everything is enclosed within the 
jacket, even the oil burner itself, so 
there is very little, if any, possibility of 
anyone tampering with the controls. 

Everything being enclosed, any slight 
mechanical noises are hushed to an 
almost inaudible whisper. Quiet opera- 
tion is assured. 

Because of the extra heavy layers of 
insulation which surround the boiler, 
very little heat is radiated through the 
jacket — one of its distinct economy 
features. 

This Steel Boiler is designed for any 
gun or pressure-type of oil burner you 
may prefer. This is an added advantage 
as it is possible for you to select an oil 
burner sold and serviced by a local 
dealer. 

As is the case with our Cast Iron 
Oil-Burning Boiler, the Steel Boiler is 
furnished complete with a genuine 
Built-in Taco Water Heater for year 
'round domestic hot water supply. It is 
also provided with and for all modern 
safety devices to assure safe and de- 
pendable operation.

Some Helpful Suggestions on Selecting 
the Best Boiler for Burning Oil 



Ehen oil burners were first being 
perfected for home heating, the 
leading concerns used Burnham 
regular coal boilers practically exclu- 
sively, for oil demonstration purposes. 

They did it, because of both the 
Burnham economy and their long fire 
travel, which hushed so much of the 
roaring noise of the flame. 

In those days, there was no such 
thing as a boiler designed exclusively to 
burn oil. So all burners were attached 
on the outside of the boiler. 

There is no doubt about the very 
definite fuel economy in our specially 
designed De Luxe Oil Burning Burn- 
ham Boiler. It is also attractive looking 
with its smart jacket. There are certain 
advantages in having everything built 
in and out of sight. 

Some, however, feel that if a time 
should come when the cost of oil might 
be such that they would save money by 
going back to coal, they want to be able 
to do it. And the point is a good one. 



Many people instruct their heating 
contractor, even though they intend 
burning oil, to install a coal burning 
boiler and keep the extra parts on hand 
for use of coal any time they want to 
change. It's a good idea. 

You see, we are in an entirely un- 
prejudiced position in the matter, as we 
make both types of boilers. It doesn't 
matter to us which you buy. So our main 
interest is to help you get the boiler best 
adapted to your particular needs and in- 
dividual pocketbook. 

We have a most interesting catalog 
on the De Luxe Burnham Oil Burning 
Boiler which we would be happy to send 
you. We suggest your sending for it. 

The Yello-Jacket boiler on pages 20 
and 21 is adaptable to burning coal 
oil or gas. It is easily converted from 
one to the other. 

On page 24 are some pertinent ques- 
tions and answers on the things you 
should know about heating with oil. 
Suggest you carefully read them. 




Everything about this Burnham De 
Luxe Oil Burning Boiler is built in.

How the BURNHAM AUTOMATIC HEAT 

Furnishes you Hot Water both Winter and Summer 




Built-in Taco 
Hot Water Heater 

As a direct part of our Oil 
Boiler and built right into it is 
a Taco coil for supplying your 
kitchen, laundry and bathrooms 
with hot water. It's located at 
the hottest place in the boiler, in- 
suring quick, economical heating. 



ay automatic heat, we mean 
Burnham Boilers burning gas, 
oil or coal, that are automatically 
controlled. It used to be that only gas 
and oil fuels could be fully automatic. 
But now that stokers have been perfected 
for home heating, coal also can be auto- 
matic. 

One of the strong economy points and 
great conveniences of Burnham automatic 
heat, is that it furnishes you plenty of hot 
water in the Summer, as well as in Win- 
ter. Your boiler is never idle. This is the 
way it is done. 

For the Summer, the burner or the 
stoker is controlled by an Aquastat. You 
set it at say 180 degrees. Whenever 
enough water is drawn from your hot 
water supply to lower the temperature, 
the Aquastat turns on the fire. Soon as 
the water is again up to the temperature 
you desire, off goes the fire. No needless 



fuel is burned. 

If for example, an extra number of 
baths are being taken, and the water 
should start coming just warm instead of 
hot, then the Aquastat will see to its be- 
ing hot again in a surprisingly short time. 

"But," you say, "doesn't running the 
boiler that way heat the house too? Isn't 
there a waste of fuel?" 

No, not at all. The Aquastat attends 
to that. It never allows the water to get 
hot enough at any time, to throw heat 
into your radiators. Automatic control 
valves on the mains prevent Summer-time 
circulation of hot water through the radi- 
ators. As for cost of fuel, it is but little, 
if any more than other methods. 

But supposing it did cost a bit more, 
what of it, considering that you know 
you will at all times, Summer and Win- 
ter, have plenty of hot water. All the 
time. Not just at times.

But you ask what of 
Coal and Gas-Fired Boilers 

for Automatic Heat? 

Glad you asked that question, even though we have touched somewhat on it already. 
But it is so important that just touching isn't enough. So let's go into it thoroughly. 




Gas 

ome feel that gas is the coming fuel. There isn't 
a doubt of its being one of the cleanest, fully auto- 
matic heats there is. In sections where the gas rate 
is favorable, we recommend its use. Burnham has a worthy 
gas-fired boiler designed specially for the purpose. 

It's an interesting thing that this boiler shows in serv- 
ice, an economy equalling that of the tests made at the 
plant, conducted very naturally under favoring conditions. 

One of the decided advantages of gas heating is its 
absolute freedom from care. Once the boiler is installed 
and connected to the gas, you need give it practically no 
more attention than you do the water in your home. Like 
it, it's always there to instantly turn on. No bother watch- 
ing the coal bin supply, or amount of oil in the tank. No 
fear of running out of fuel when snow may hold up truck 
deliveries. No stopping of heat if the electric current sup- 
ply should fail. 

The great increase in home gas heating during recent 
years shows plainly enough the rapidly increasing appre- 
ciation of its care-free advantages. 




This Burnham is of distinctly different design 
than our other boilers. It is made to give you the 
most possible return from the gas burned. You 
may doubt our claiming an 8 to 10% economy 
over other gas boilers, but we have the proofs 
which you are most welcome to see. For a good 
many years it has been making warm friends 
because of the satisfactory way it heats homes. 



Stoker-Fired Coal 

Automatic or mechanical coal stokers have been used 
for a long time for industrial boilers. And for a while the 
makers certainly did have a lot of grief, when they tried 
to cut down "papa's pants to fit Willie", so to speak, in 
attempting to adopt those stokers for home heating boilers. 

Happily for you, that's all a thing of the long past. The 
present day stokers are quite wonders of ingenuity. They 
are just as dependable as oil burners. Burn a low priced 
coal, therefore are great fuel-cost savers. 

Fuel can be either put in hopper by hand, or automatic- 
ally fed from the bin. The ashes are mechanically deposited 
in cans, doing away with the dust objection, not to men- 
tion the work and the bother that hand shovelling means 



See pages 25 and 26 for Questions and Answers 
About Stokers and Gas Heating 




No, stokers are not noisy. They are just as silent 
as oil burners. They are entirely automatic, being 
controlled by a thermostat exactly like an oil 
burner. They will also give you all year around 
hot water supply for kitchen and baths controlled 
by an automatic Aquastat.

Attic Fan Cooler 

Reduces Summer Temperature 
In Your Home 6 to 8 Degrees 



|t's the heat that accumulates in the attic and stays 
dead in your rooms that holds back the after- 
sundown cooling off of your home. Especially on 
nights when there is little if any air stirring outside. 

If then that dead, stored-up hot air that's in the attic 
and hanging about your rooms, could be drawn out of your 
house, and replaced by the cooler evening outside air, you 
would have one of the simplest, most practical methods of 
making your entire house agreeably comfortable. 

That's exactly what the Burnham Attic Fan Cooler does. 
Located in the attic, it draws the hot air out of the house 
and removes the blanket of heat from the attic. Cool night 
air is drawn in through open windows in the living and 
sleeping quarters. Every room is filled with this cooling, 
comforting air from outdoors. A fresh supply of this cool 
air fills the house every minute or so. You can be sure it 
does not take very long for the family to react to its com- 
forting stimulation. On through the night this cooling 
continues, giving rest and comfort to otherwise sleepless 
tossings. All the walls, floors and ceilings, all the furniture, 
is cooled far below the daytime temperature. As a result 
of this night cooling, the house will remain pleasant 
throughout the following day. 

The Attic Fan Cooler comes to you complete, everything 
is included for an easy quick installation. 

INSTALLATION SIMPLE 

The complete Fan Cooler with Attic Package equipment in- 
cludes the special Burnham Strong-Pull Fan, the vent box or 
duct with its flame-proof draft door, fan switch and ceiling 
grille. 

There's nothing the least complicated about installing this 
Attic Cooler. Anyone the least mechanically minded can do it. 
The hall ceiling grille has an ornamental trim, that com- 
pletely covers the rough plaster edges left in cutting the 
ceiling opening. 

If you wish more detailed information, send for special folder 
giving full particulars. 

The complete Attic Cooler Package Equipment is made in 
several sizes. 

FOR FLAT ROOFS 

If you have a flat roof and no attic, as is the case with many 
of the Modern houses, we have an outfit that can be placed 
right on the roof, and perform equally as effective. 

FIRE STOP 

The vent box is equipped with a flame-proof fire stop door. 
It is connected with a fusible plug, which melts and tightly 
closes the trap door and shuts off the fan, preventing all 
drafts that might draw any fire from below into the attic. 




This is the fan used in cooler and ventilator. 




Portable Window Ventilator 

It's amazing the cooling this high capacity Portable 
Window Ventilator does. It lowers the temperature not 
alone in the room where located, but has an effect on 
the entire house, in the way it literally draws out the 
hot inside air, and pulls in the cooler outside night air. 
It can easily be moved from one location to another. 
The rubber tipped legs are adjustable to fit different 
height windows. Plug it into an electric light outlet 
exactly like a floor lamp. That's all there is to it. 
Cabinet is attractive in design and finely finished. 
Grilles thoroughly protect fan, preventing harm to 
draperies and humans. For different width windows we 
furnish adjustable spacings for each side. Here at last 
is a thoroughly practical, effective home cooler, the 
first cost of which is reasonable and current consump- 
tion decidedly low.

Here's how the air condition craft-made cabinet looks. 
You can place it under a window or any other location 
exactly like a radiator. It can be recessed if you like. 
See the diagram on next page for how it works. 



Hns is the filter with 2 months collection partly cleaned 
off. It s easily removable for cleaning. You will be sur- 
prised at the amount of dust, dirt and lint it takes out 
of the air you breathe. To clean, simply put under the 
faucet. 



How To Air Condition Your Home 

For The Least Cost 




Helps Hay Fever 
And Asthma 

We are not so bold as to say our air condi- 
tioner cures either of these troubles. But it 
certainly is a decided help to such sufferers. 
We don't say it filters out all the pollen or 
dust in the air. But it does capture enough 
of it, to cause great relief to many. 



A 



jNOTHER outstanding advantage of the Burnham Radiator system of heat- 
ing, is that for comparatively little, you can have it air condition any 
one or more rooms. 

It has distinct advantages over other methods in its simplicity. Still it does 
everything in winter air conditioning that the most elaborate systems do, and 
costs less to do it. There is no space taking, complicated costly equipment in your 
basement, requiring constant attention. No cutting of your floor or disfiguring 
of walls, for grilles. No annoying recirculating of odors or disease germs from 
one room to another, as is absolutely unavoidable with most systems. 

Here is how simple this Burnham unit system is. In place of a radiator you use 
our air conditioner. It takes up practically no more room than the usual radiator 
grille enclosure. It fits right under your window. It can if you wish, be recessed. 

The burl walnut finished cabinet, trimmed with velvet black and just the right 
relieving touch of chromium, looks like a fine piece of furniture. You would never 
guess the many things it does so noiselessly and effectively. 

FIRST 

It filter cleans the air from the dust that is in all rooms regardless of how 
painstaking the housekeeping is. 

SECOND 

It warms the filter cleaned and sweetened air. 

THIRD 

It adds just the right healthy amount of moisture. Not so much as to 
cloud the windows. But just enough to put back the natural moisture 
heat takes out. 



16 




Here is the Conditioner recessed with its Burnham Panel Front. No trouble 
at all to install. The center panel is removable for easy access to fan and 
motor, exactly as with the regular cabinet. Furnished in prime coat for 
finishing in harmony with your color scheme. 



FOURTH 



It forces the air into the room through a deflector grille, giving it a rapid 
circulation, meaning quickened heating. The deflector grille throws the 
filter cleaned, heated and humidified air into the room, at just the right 
angle to prevent any one sitting by it getting heat blasts. 

There is a thermostat which automatically controls it, turning the fan 
on and off as needed. There's also an automatic current snap-on switch, 
which prevents waste of electricity. The water in the humidifier does not 
have to be put in by hand. It too automatically takes care of itself. 

In the usual air conditioning systems you must have, and must pay for, 
an elaborate and generally costly equipment sufficient to Condition every 
room in your home, when all you may really want is, one or perhaps three 
rooms. But with the Burnham Unit System, you Condition only the 
rooms you want. That means saving money. 

Here's another point in this Burnham method's favor. And it's a strong 
point ! During the summer when heat is off, you can run the Conditioner 
Fan to make your rooms comfortable, exactly as a regular fan is used. 
The thermostat has a hand switch control for just that purpose. You'll 
find it a great improvement over fans, as the air circulation is more general 
and no spraying of air on anyone, endangering colds. 

Here's still another important point, that of the installation. It's 
simple. Requires no special engineer. Any steam fitter can do it. 

Yet another advantage of this Burnham Conditioner is that you can 
add it to your radiator system at any time; do it equally well on an old, 
as a new radiator heating system of any kind. All of which are just the 
high spots. But we have a special piece of printed matter that goes into 
every essential phase of air conditioning. It's not at all technical. Just 
simply told, quite like this chat together has been. Will be glad to send 
it to you on request. 



DIRECTIONAL GRILLE 




How It Works 

This sketch shows you how the fan driven 
heated air, is drawn in through the filter at 
the bottom and then thrown down on the 
surface of the water in the humidifier, where 
it picks up its natural content of moisture be- 
fore it flows out the deflector grille into your 
room. The deflectors are set at just the right 
angle to throw the heat away from your 
draperies and out into the room at a height 
to give the quickest, most agreeable heating 
results. It does not come out with a blast, 
but just a gentle steady noiseless flow. You 
get more and quicker heat from the Condi- 
tioner than any radiator alone. It means fuel 
economy. When the fan is off, no heat is 
driven into the room. But there is a certain 
amount coming into the humidifier chamber, 
causing just enough moisture to be constantly 
delivered into the room to preserve an agree- 
able healthy condition. 



17 



You Ask Which Is Better 
the Round or Square Boiler? 




"My head may look 
swelled. And it is. That's 
because I'm built to do 
steam heating as it ought 
to be done." 



>cru< 



w 

as the o 



[either is better in the case of Burnhams. But 

both do best the job they are built to do. So far 

w as economy is concerned, one is just as heat thrifty 

other. Sometimes one costs more than the other 

and that often decides it. So let's look each of them in the 
face and make them tell their own common sense story. 




THE ROUND BOILER TALKS 

| ou see it is like this. I am sort of a tea kettle 
grown up. A tea kettle with long pants on, so to 
m speak. Because I have always looked like a cross- 
section between a kettle and the old dining room stove, a 
lot of folks could understand me. They just put me down 
as sort of a glorified stove with a tea kettle attachment, 
that you could hook up to radiators and make everybody 
heat happy. 

"So I sprang into popularity over night. If I do say it 
myself, there's a lot to be said in my favor. For the 
moderate size house, you certainly would have a hard 
time beating me. 

"Of course, I have a lot of relations in the round boiler 
family which I don't much take to. They are off-shoots of 
the sturdy old Burnham stock under other names. They 
have married out of their class and cheapened themselves, 
i ou know what that means. 

"They doll all up and put on the dog. But somehow 
1 just can t feel sure of them. 

"I give you the real blown-in-the-bottle-brand of Burn- 
ham Cosy Comfort Heat. The heat from a pure blood 
Burnham Round Boiler. Burns coal, gas or oil. I make a 
powerful good showing automatically fired. In fact am 
quite a general favorite with the oil burner folks. I am 
a warm friend on whom you can unfailingly depend." 




"Here I am with the 
swelling out of my head 
ready to do a specially 
fine job of hot water 
heating, the way it also 
should be done." 



"It isn't often I open up and 
let folks in on the inside. But 
sort of feel I can depend on 
you. So here I am opened up. 
Those wrinkles over the fire 
greatly increase my fuel sav- 
ing usefulness. But why go 
into such details here." 




"Now you are on the inside, 
you might as well take a look 
at my inmost innards'. Am 
built in sort of layers or sec- 
tions. Note how the hot gases 
pass back and forth. It is 
called fire-travel. Because my 
fire-travel is so long, my coal 
bills are short."

For Coed 

This is the way I look 
when all set for burn- 
ing coal. My jacket is 
the latest style and 
lined with heavy insu- 
lation to keep my heat 
from going off in the 
air instead of into the 
radiators. 




For All Fuels 

I am the Yello-Jacket Burnham all 
dolled up in a dandelion yellow jacket, 
looking right smart and sassy like. 
If you want to know all about me 
turn to pages 20 and 21. 



For Oil 

When you want to use 
me for oil my grates 
are left out, fire-bricks 
put in and the ash pit 
door is changed to this 
plate front with a hole 
for the oil bu rner 
nozzle. 




The Burnham Square Boiler 
Speaks Right Out In Meeting 




)nsidering how the Burnham Round Boiler is my 
full blood brother, it just wouldn't do for me to 
say anything against him. Don't know that I 
could anyway, he is such a dependable, straight-shooting, 

sure-fire performer. 

"But, as is the case with any two brothers, some like 
one of us, and some the other. Admittedly, there was a time 
when more liked him than liked me. But it is about even 
now. 

"You see he is built in layers — one on top of the other. 
I am built in sections, one behind the other. 

"In cases where the cellar ceiling is low, I have a way 
of fitting in. Should additions be put on the home, an- 
other section can be added to me, when there might not be 
room for one on top of my round brother. 



"So far as heat thriftiness is concerned, don't know as 
it becomes me to brag a whole lot. Still there are folks 
who simply wouldn't consider a round boiler. They like 
my squarish shape fire box and the easy way my grates 
shake. Some sizes have double grates, making it possible 
to run half the fire in early fall and spring, when only 
a little heat is needed. And all the grates when real win- 
ter weather comes. There isn't a doubt I save them fuel. 

"My fire travel is long. Goes three-times-back-and-forth 
my full length, regardless of how many, or how few 
sections I have. It is that long fire travel that makes my 
short fuel bill, just as it does in the Round Burnham. 

"Folks also like my swell clothes. My tailored jacket 
I'd have you know, is of the latest cut. It fits right into 
any dolled up cellar or recreation room, and unfailingly 
does the Burnham family full credit." 



The Saving Advantages 
of a Conversion Burnham 




here's another thing you should know about me, 
that a lot of folks are keen for. 

You see it's this way. Suppose you have a sort of 
leaning towards burning oil. There are a goodly number 
of things can be said in its favor. But always comes the 
thought, suppose the cost of oil should some day be more 
than coal, or if for any other reason I might want to use 
coal, then what can I do with my oil burning boiler ? 

You just can't do a thing about it, if your boiler is one 
specially designed for oil, with a built-in burner. Only 
thing to do, is buy an out-and-out new boiler, unless you 



are lucky enough to have one of our Conversion Burnhams. 

If you have, then by simply changing the base — not at all 
a costly matter — you can change over to burning coal with- 
out buying a new boiler. 

When you use our Conversion Boiler for oil, the burner 
is on the outside. Or with the Yello-Jacket we can furnish 
an extension that encloses the oil burner. 

If, however, you have a feeling you will never want to 
change from oil, then by all means, use one of our special 
Built-in Oil Burning Burnhams, told about on pages 12 
and 13.

ITS GOOD LOOKS 

When you see this Yello-Jacket boiler, it's so pleas- 
ing, so attractive looking in every way, that you'll 
have the impression of its being a piece of furniture 
or a fine cabinet. And in a sense, it is both. 
That combination of light dandelion yellow and 
black, with just a touch of chromium, is certainly 
something to conjure with. 
This boiler happens to be equipped for oil burning. 



It Stings 



THE ALL-FUEL 

Yello-Jacket 

Burnham 

For Hot Water or Steam 



There are a lot of smiles 
for every owner of this New 
Yello-Jacket boiler because 
of the way it stings the fuel 

a bill. And when we say 
stings, don't mean the honey 
bee kind, that stings once, 
leaving the stinger in the one sting, and then 
dies. This boiler is a regular yellow jacket 
that stings, and keeps right on stinging your 
fuel bill year after year. You can burn any 
kind of fuel in it, and the stinging will be 
the same. It matters not whether it is coal, 
oil or gas. 

There's one thing you'll particularly like 
about it, because it can save you future costs. 
Suppose you decide to burn oil, and then 
after a while, find coal is cheaper. Or for rea- 
sons you prefer it to oil. If you had a boiler 
that was designed only to burn oil, you 




PLENTY OF LOW 
COST HOT WATER 

If you want your basement free from a hot 
water supply storage tank, just say so, and 
we 11 equip your Yello-Jacket with this 
Tankless Taco instantaneous heater. 
The boiler will come to you with the heater 
right inside all ready to start doing its job 
of supplying you plenty of hot water for 
kitchen, bath or laundry. 
If you prefer a storage tank, we'll equip 
the boiler with a Taco heater to best keep 
it hot water filled. 



four Fuel Bill 



couldn't use it for coal. You would have to 
discard it and buy an out-and-out new boiler. 

But not so with this Yello- Jacket. For 
very little cost you can convert it for oil, 
even to having an extension of the jacket to 
enclose the oil burner. It's also just as easy 
to shift from oil to coal any time. 

Another outstanding point in its favor, 
is that it will give you hot water for your 
kitchen and bath for practically no cost. 

But that isn't all. You don't even need a 
storage tank. That's a saving in itself. 
There's a Tankless Taco Heater built right 
inside the boiler that heats the water in- 
stantaneously as fast as you draw it. If, 
however, you prefer having a storage tank, 
then we furnish a biltin Taco to give you 
hot water that way. 

What I am about to mention may be a bit 
technical, but it has so much to do with the 
fuel bill stinging, it can't be left out. It's 
about the combustion chamber. This Yello- 
Jacket has two. It's the only all fuel cast 
iron boiler that has these particular two. 

Now the combustion chamber is the space 
where the fire burns. That part of the boiler 
in the combustion chamber, that's right over 
the fire, is the most efficient, because it's 




what is called "direct surface" and absorbs 
the radiant heat. 

This Yello- Jacket's combustion chamber 
extends not only over the fire, but also right 
through the center of the boiler, from cellar 
to garret, so to speak. The fire shines di- 
rectly on all that surface, and where the 
fire shines, the most heat from the flames 
is absorbed. 

No other cast iron boiler so far as we 
know, has this double combustion chamber 
feature. No other has as much direct fire 
shine surface. 

Hope we have made it clear, because it's 
a most important feature. Besides which, 
there are many other economy features, but 
we won't tire you with them. 

Do want, however, to say a word about 
the jacket. It's so pleasing in design and so 
thoroughly well made, that it scarce looks 
like a boiler, but a fine piece of cabinet work. 
The color is a most attractive light dande- 
lion yellow, that harmonizes with practically 
any color. The enamel is double coated, 
twice baked. The jacket is heavily insulated 
so there is practically no loss heat. 

Here then, is the last word in boilers. One 
that we are fully warranted in saying, is by 
far the best all around, all-fuel-boiler, your 
money can buy, barring none. 




THAT DOUBLE 
COMBUSTION CHAMBER 

Perhaps you can get the best idea of 
what the double combustion chamber 
is by our taking a section of the 
boiler and showing the fire. In all 
other cast iron boilers the direct fire- 
shine-fire, is only on the surfaces di- 
rectly over the fire. 

Note how here they are not only those 
over the fire, but all the way to the top. 
It's one of the big reasons for the way 
this Yello- Jacket boiler stings the fuel 
bill. 




LOCATION 
OF HOT WATER HEATER 

Here is the boiler before the jacket was put 
on, and showing the Taco Heater being 
slipped in place, inside the boiler. Its location 
is at a point where the boiler water itself is 

the hottest. 

It insures not only quick heating, but an 
ample supply of low cost hot water from your 

taps or faucets. 




JACKET EXTENSION 
IS REMOVABLE 

The jacket extension easily lifts off and on. In fact 
it has a convenient handle on each side for just that 
purpose. 

Just another of the many so called "little points", 
that have been given true Burnham consideration. 




£l 






JACKET EXTENSION 
ENCLOSING THE OIL BURNER 

You don't have to enclose the burner. But it 
does make a more attractive looking job. 
Besides, it protects the burner from the chil- 
dren or any busybody tinkerer.

The Junior Yello-Jacket is so good 
looking in every way that it just don't 
look like a boiler. It's more like a fine 
piece of colorful cabinet work, which 
in a way is exactly what it is. 




Here's one of the three sections that go to 
make up the boiler. Note how long the sides 
or legs are. That's because those legs make 
the base as well as the combustion chamber. 
Cuts down the cost of set up. Gives an addi- 
tional economy, as every part of the boiler 
excepting the bottom, is completely water sur- 
rounded — another economy point. 



The New Burnham Junior Yello-Jacket 
Designed Especially For Small Homes 



Eou know there is a fellow they call "Old Man 
Diminishing Ratio". He's a bothersome sort who 
causes a lot of trouble. 

Here's how he works. Suppose for example you have a 
small table that just suits you in every way. It's so satis- 
factory you decide to have a larger one made following 
the proportions exactly. 

By all that's reasonable it should be just as good looking 
as the other. But it somehow looks funny, seems out of 
proportion. That's where Old Man Diminishing Ratio 
comes in. He works both up and down. 

Now from the down side let's take a boiler. A fair sized 
one for instance that performs satisfactorily in every way. 
By all that's reasonable its satisfactory performance should 
continue in a small size for Small Home Heating. But it 
just doesn't work that way. The Old Man steps in and 
makes trouble. 

So that's why we have made this especially designed 
Burnham Junior Yello-Jacket just for Small Home 
Heating. 

Of course it has many of the features of our other 
boilers. But it isnot a case of papa's pants being cut down 
to fit Willie. It's an out and out new boiler made out of 
whole cloth, so to speak. 

It's made to do the most economical job possible, of 



22 



heating Small Homes. Ones having four, five or even six 
rooms. It's moderate in cost as it should be. It has the 
same fuel stinging economy of the Yello-Jacket Boiler told 
about on pages 20 and 21. 

It has a Biltin Taco Tankless hot water supply heater 
for both kitchen and laundry. Gives you plenty of hot 
water in the most economical possible way. No storage 
tank needed. Or a Biltin Storage Type Taco Heater can 
be furnished. 

Because the light dandelion yellow finish and design of 
the jacket has made such a hit, this Burnham has one like 
it. It also has the same front porch, or removable jacket 
extension for covering the burner when using oil. There is 
however no separate base. The boiler proper and base are 
all in one piece, making the whole boiler water surrounded, 
which is an economy feature of itself, especially when 
burning oil. 

It also cuts down installation costs as the boiler is 
shipped all set up, ready to put right on the floor and 
connect up, quite like a refrigerator comes to you. The 
only difference is the jacket has to be put on, which takes 
no time at all it goes on so easily. 

Here then is as perfect a boiler for Small Home Heating 
as your money can buy. One in which Old Man Diminish- 
ing Ratio has been given the loud laugh. 



How Burnham Air Valves Save You Money 




Burnham No. B2 

Chromium plated 

Adjustable 

Radiator Valve 

It quickly lets the air out 
and then closes tight so 
it can't sneak back in, 
when the radiators cool 

down. 



TAT " 1:T,I1 ' R you'll admit it or not, air is radiator heat's big- 
W Liest enemy. It is the fighting out of the old law that two 
I things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. 

If there is air in your radiators, the steam will do its best to push 
it out. If there is no vent place, then it will try to compress it — 
and the battle is on. Sometimes you hear the struggle, in disagree- 
able knockings and hangings. 

Often it results in only a portion of your radiators heating. Or, 
if you have air venting valves that are not any too good, the air may 
be let out so gingerly that the slow creeping across of the heat makes 
you disgusted with the whole heating system. 

You may be burning plenty of fuel and still getting only stingy 
heat. So see to it that each one of your radiators is equipped with 
Burnham dependable air valves. 

One kind lets the air out, but soon as the heat dies down a bit, 
lets it creep back in. Most valves, sorry to say, are that way. 

By far the better way is to use the Burnham Valve that both lets 
the air out and then keeps it out. They cost more, because obviously 
they are worth more. 

It is a smart idea to also vent the mains. That means they are at 
once freed so the steam can quickly get to your radiators. The air 
that would otherwise be pushed into the radiators, is let out before 
reaching them. 

Some folks cut costs on their heating by using cheap valves that 
soon clog up and cease to function. 

Burnham valves are chromium plated, and when rightly installed, 
are unconditionally guaranteed for one year. So see to it that you 
get Burnhams. 

Burnham Air Valves are available in the 
adjustable or non-adjustable types.

Your Questions Answered 

These questions are the ones which are most asked either by letter or in person. 
Some of them may cover just the things you may also want to know. So here 
they are: However, don't hesitate to ask us anything else you may have in mind. 
You will find us rather pleasant people. 



ABOUT HEATING IN GENERAL 



Which costs less to install, Hot Water or Steam? 

Steam costs less. 

Hot Water costs more because with the natural flow, 
or gravity system, the radiators have to be larger 
and double the piping is necessary. 

Why does hot water require large radiators and 

twice the piping of steam? 

With steam, the one pipe carries both the steam from 
the boiler to the radiators, and the condensation from 



the radiators back to the boiler. With hot water, the 
entire system is filled with water, and in order to keep 
in constant circulation must have the same size pipes 
leading from the radiators to the boiler, as from boiler 
to radiators. 

The radiators have to be much larger because hot 
water seldom gets much above 180 degrees and aver- 
ages about 140; while steam is always at least 212 
degrees. 
To get the same result from hot water as steam, you 



23 






therefore, must have a larger radiator to make up 
the difference of from about 40 to 70 degrees. 

3. Do I always have to have Two Pipes on Hot 
Water System? 

No you don't. 

There is the one pipe Venturi automatic system for 
oil, gas or stoker fired coal, which we heartily recom- 
mend. 

A one pipe circuit is made practical by using a cir- 
culator to increase the flow speed of the water through 
the radiators and back to the boiler. In addition, there 
is a Venturi-One fitting connected to each radiator, 
which in turn, automatically pulls the water through 
the radiators faster. It's all thermostatically controlled. 

4. Which burns the least coal, hot water or steam? 

Some claim there is very little difference in the coal 
you burn. But hot water has an advantage in the way 
the latent heat in the water keeps right on heating a 
considerable time after shutting the fire entirely off. 
When you start the fire you do not have to run the 
water up to practically boiling point before you get 
any returns, as with steam. 

Hot water begins heating as soon as there is enough 
heat in it to make the water circulate. Just logically 
it should save fuel. 

5. Can I enlarge a Burnham if we should later on 
decide to enlarge our house, or must I either 
buy too big a boiler now, or get an entirely new 
one then? 

Most assuredly you can add to a Burnham as you add 
to your home. It's built in sections, quite like a sectional 
book case. 

It's one of the strong points in practically all Burnhams. 

6. How does Vapor or Vacuum system differ from 
steam or hot water? 

By the use of specially constructed valves, a partial 
vacuum is created in the pipes and radiators which 
lowers the boiling point of the water, allowing a hot 
vapor to enter the pipes several degrees before the 
boiling point of the water is reached. 
The condensation is returned to the boiler by separate 
small pipes, insuring absolutely no interference with 
the passage of the vapor. 



The partial vacuum created, holds the heat, and the 
valves prevent the air from returning to the system. 
Therefore, the radiators hold the heat longer than 
steam radiators. 

The radiators are about the same size as for steam. In 
effect, you get approximately the same even tempera- 
ture and economical results as with hot water, with 
rather more flexibility. Vacuum Systems cost approxi- 
mately the same as hot water. 

7. Is there some way of having hot water for kitchen 
and bath without a separate boiler? 

Yes indeed there is. You can connect a Taco hot water 
heater to your boiler, which will heat the water in a 
storage tank. Or you can do away with a tank by 
using a Tankless Taco Heater which is also connected 
to the outside of boiler. It heats the water instan 
taneously, as drawn from the taps. 
Happily for you, practically all Burnham boilers have 
a Taco Heater built right inside them, out of sight 
and out of the way. They are a direct part of the 
boiler and highly efficient. 

8. Which is better the round or square boiler? 

Glad you asked that question. It's important. Just turn 
to page 18. 

9. Do we have to buy a Burnham direct from your 
boiler plants? 

Not at all. 

All heating men know about Burnhams, even if they 

may not have them in stock. 

You can buy direct from them, and they will order it 

from us. 

Should there not be a heating man in your town, will 

be glad to have you write to us direct, and we will put 

you in touch with one. 

If you are building or remodeling, and employing an 

architect, see to it that he specifies a Burnham in your 

heating specifications. 

To insure prompt deliveries we have a stock of boilers 

in fifty main distributing centers. 

10. If I buy a Burnham can we be sure of always 
getting parts? 

Just as sure as you can of any boiler. 

We have been making boilers for over 70 years and 

never failed anyone yet.

Questions about OIL HEAT 



Do I have to have special radiators or piping for 
oil heating? 

Most assuredly not. The same radiators, the same 
piping used for any hot water, steam or vacuum system, 
are used. However, before you decide on the kind of 
radiators, be sure and give careful consideration to 
the Burnham Slenderized ones, as told about on paees 
8 and 9. r & 



Do I have to buy an out-and-out oil burning 
boiler? Can't I use an oil burner with mv nrespnt 
boiler? 



use an oil burner with my present 



Of course you can, and often with satisfactory results. 
But so much depends on the type of boiler you may 
have. All Burnham Boilers because of their particular 
design, give fine results with the attached burners. 
But the special Burnham Oil Burning Boiler has cer- 



tain built-in features and automatic controls which 
you may feel are a distinct advantage. 

How about the oil tanks, must I dig a big hole 
in my yard and a ditch for the pipes from it 
to the burner? 

Not at all. Most States now permit the placing of 
tanks inside, near the boiler. It is always good to have 
an ample size tank so you have enough oil in reserve 
in case of emergencies. 

How about the comparative economy of auto- 
matic oil as against hand-firing of coal? 

Put it up to your local man. He can give you definite 
figures. But here's a point you should bear in mind. 
The burning of oil is entirely automatic. No coal to 



24 



shovel. No ashes to be taken care of. Your rooms need 
never get chilly because of the fire "going down" and 
having to wait for it to "come up," as it's called. Prac- 
tically the instant the oil burner goes on, a full volume 
of heat is produced. You can have your house warmed 
the same at night as during the day at very little, if 
any, additional cost. That's because it costs less to keep 
a uniform temperature, than to let it down during the 
night and then have to overcome all that accumulated 
cold by running the fire harder and longer. 
So even if you are located where coal may be somewhat 
cheaper, the comfort and practically entire freedom 
from attention required by oil, over-shadows any 
variance in cost. 

5. How about noise? 

By noise you, of course, mean the burner. As for the 
mechanism of the burner itself — the electric driven 
fan mainly — that has been so perfected it is of no 
consequence. It is the noise of the burning flame that 
could be the most disturbing. But that is largely a thing 
of the past. With our De Luxe boiler everything is 
built into the Boiler. Everything, burner and all, is en- 
closed inside the jacket. The burner chamber is lined 
with a sound deadening material. Even the door. You 
can rest assured that any burner you may put in this 
sound-hushed DeLuxe Burnham will be so quiet you 
and your guests will never know when it is either on 
or off. 

6. Is there any danger of something happening and 
the oil leaking out all over the place? 

How about your water system, are you afraid of that 
happening? Would you go without piped water 
through your house, just because now and again a 
leak happens? With the valving and automatic con- 
trols now used there is no more danger with the oil 
than the water. In fact less, because the oil isn't under 
any pressure at all until it reaches the flame nozzle 
that is inside the combustion chamber or fire box. 

7. Suppose anything happens to the insides of the 
Burnham Oil Boiler, how can anyone get inside 
the jacket to fix it? 

Well, before the jacket is put on, the boiler and all 
the connections are first made. The jacket is no more 
than your overcoat is to you. If anything, it's easier 
to take your coat off than put it on. There's your 
answer about the Burnham jacket. 



Is there any odor? 

Not in the least, if the installation is right and the 
burner is kept reasonably clean. The first you would 
insist on anyway. The other you would see was done 
just because it is common sense. Besides, every once 
in a while there is a gas from coal. But you never 
heard of anyone going back to wood, just for that 
chance occurrence, did you? 



9. How about the dirt? Is oil heat clean? 

There's no smoke, no ashes, the fire that burns up 
everything. 



10. How about the jacket on the Burnham Oil 
Boiler, does it give as good an insulation as the 
asbestos cement applied directly to the boiler? 

Better. Far better. That's proven by the coolness of the 
jacket. You can put your hand on it at any time. The 

Burnham jacket is heavily lined with a combination 
of insulating and sound deadening materials. So vou 
see, it is something more than mere looks back of the 
way Burnham jackets a boiler. It adds to looks, lessens 
noise, and it also spells economy. 



11. Suppose I have trouble with the boiler, who is 
going to make it right? 

Go to the dealer you bought it from. If it's his fault, 
he will make good. If it's our fault he will take it up 
with us and you can depend on our being only too 
glad to see it's made right. We want our Burnham 
users satisfied. It isn't just being pleasant on our part. 
It's good business. Pleasant dealings and good busi- 
ness, happily make the best of teams. 



12. Where can I buy a Burnham Oil Burning Boiler? 

We don't sell direct. That is, from our factory direct 
to you. They must come through some dealer or con- 
tractor. If you don't happen to know any such in your 
section, just let us know and we will arrange all that 
for you. 

It is distinctly to your advantage to have your heating 
boiler installed by an experienced dealer, who is 
handy by, and can give your burner prompt servicing. 



Questions on STOKER FIRING 



2. 



Having concluded I want automatic heat, how 
shall I go about deciding whether to make it oil 
or stoker fired coal? 

Well, that's not such a problem. One thing sure, how- 
ever, if you ask your friends who have oil, they can't 
sing its praises enough. In turn, the same song of com- 
plete satisfaction will be sung by the stokerites. So 
why not ask us all the questions that are on your mind, 
and we will try to answer every one of them. 

All right then, what I first want to know is the 
comparative cost of each. 

In the last few years as the number of oil burners sold 
have increased, so has their cost decreased. The per- 
fecting of stokers has been slower, and sales accord- 
ingly, so that in general, they have cost more. But they 



don't cost any more in the long run. Just why, have a 
notion some of your other questions will fully bring 
out. 



Will a stoker save me money? 

Yes, it will. If you have been burning coal, hand-firing 
it, there will be a decided saving. For example, take 
the usual size of Anthracite used in boilers. Its cost 
varies from $12 to around $14.50 a ton anywhere 
within say 500 miles of New York. With a stoker you 
can burn a fine grade coal costing from 6 to 9 dollars 
a ton delivered. Don't know how many rooms your 
house has, or is to have, but let's say it requires 10 tons 
to heat it with hand-firing size coal. At $12 that would 
be $120. At $14.50 it would be $145. With the stoker it 
would cost from 60 to 90 dollars, A saving of from 55 
to 60 dollars. Suppose, therefore, the first cost of the 






25 



stoker is more than an oil burner, the saving on cost 
of fuel soon overcomes all that, and still you keep on 
saving that 55 to 60 dollars, year by year. Of course 
there is the cost of electricity to run them same as 
with oil burners. But that's a small item. 



4. But, you ask, isn't Oil cheaper than Coal? 

Well, its average cost is just about the same as An- 
thracite at $12 to $14.50 a ton, depending on the 
locality. 



How about the electricity used? Does a stoker 
take more? 

No, it really doesn't. But supposing it did, you have 
that large saving on fuel cost to many times offset it. 
So that possible objection is out. 



What about the nuisance of ashes with stoker- 
fired boilers? 

Frankly, that is the only possible objection to stokers. 
But after all, isn't it a rather over-emphasized one? 
Present day stokers automatically remove the ashes 
from the boiler and dustlessly deposit them in cans. It 
is no longer a messy, dusty job. Just remove the filled 
can and replace with an empty one. Sort of like setting 
out the milk bottles. 



Some of my friends tell me a stoker takes up more 
room. 

Yes, they do. That is to say thev do, if vou are com- 
paring an oil burner that is Built-in the boiler—a 
direct part of it. Of course, then the whole outfit is 
only as big as the boiler itself. However, if you com- 
pare a Conversion boiler, one with the burner on the 
outside, then the new designed stokers take up but 
little more room. 



8. What about the work of filling the stoker hopper? 

You don't need to. Present day stokers automatically 
bring the coal direct from your bin to the boiler. Fill 
the bin and the stoker does the rest. This automatic 
feature does add a bit to the first cost of the stoker. So 
if you are figuring your first cost with a very sharp 
pencil, then why not have the hand-filled hopper? No 
trick to do it. It's a lad's job, in fact. Fill it every 24 
hours during the Winter, and every 3 or 4 days in the 
warmer months. That is, if you intend to use your 
boiler to furnish all year round hot water, as so many 
have found the advantage of doing. 

9. Does a stoker need more servicing than an oil 
burner? 

No, it doesn't. A stoker requires no more attention than 
your ice box. Most stoker concerns have a yearly in- 
spection service, which includes vacuum cleaning your 
boiler, going over the stoker, oiling and putting it in 
apple-pie order. It's well worth its nominal yearly cost. 
In some places the coal companies selling stokers, so 
we understand, do this once a year servicing free, 

10. What happens if the electric current goes off? 

Exactly the same thing as happens with an oil burner, 
or your electric refrigerator. It stops. But with a stoker 
the bed of coals will hold fire for 3 or 4 hours. You can 
also burn wood to tide over the interval. 

11. There's one more question nearly forgot. How 
about the noise? 

There's practically no more noise with present day 
perfected stokers, than with an oil burner or an ice box. 
So now that you have asked all the questions you could 
dig up, let us remind you of this. We make all kinds 
of boilers for every place and purpose. Cast iron ones. 
Steel ones. Gas burning boilers. Boilers for oil, coal or 
coke. For more than half a century we have been mak- 
ing boilers. So doesn't it look to you as if we ought to 
know how best to make them? 



Questions on Gas 






Do you think gas is the coming fuel? There seems 
to be a lot of talk about it. 

Frankly now, we don't claim to be any prophet. But 
one thing sure, it is fast on the gain. 



2. What has started all the talk about using gas for 
home heating? 

Well, in the first place, it is entirely automatic. Just 
as much so as the water in your bathroom. No filling of 
bins or tanks. No ashes. No odor, No bother. No noise. 
Simply a case of connecting up the pipe, and there the 
gas is, always ready for use at any time, 

3. What is meant by its being entirely automatic? 

Mostly it means, there are no bothers. Not only is the 
fuel supplied automatically, but the whole control of 
its burning and the amount of heat in your home is 
under full automatic control. 

4. Do gas boilers cost more than coal or oil boilers? 

Gas boilers cost more than coal boilers because of 
their automatic controls, but cost less than a boiler- 
burner unit. 



5. How about the cost of running them? 

Glad you asked that question. The answer is, if you 
are in a section where there is natural gas, they gen- 
erally cost less to run than with anthracite coal or oil. 
Bituminous coal is of course somewhat less costly than 
natural gas. The gas companies pretty much all over 
the country are making very attractive new rates for 
home heating. This makes it possible for many a one 
to use gas to whom the cost was prohibitive before- 

6. Suppose it should cost somewhat more, is it worth 

it? 

Don't know as we can exactly say what a thing is 
worth to you. So let us in turn ask you a question. Is it 
worth something to you to have an entirely botherless 
heat? One the fuel supply for which is always there. 
One that is entirely automatic in every way. One that 
has a pay-after-you use advantage. One that is always 
on tap so to speak, at any time of the year, for as little 
or as much heat as you need. Also remember that 
24-hour free service is available from your Gas Com- 
pany should it ever be necessary. Assured comfort, 
entire convenience and a total freedom from care— 
don't you feel all these are worth something to you? 
So far as we are concerned, our company makes boilers 
for all kinds of fuel, putting us in an unprejudiced 
position. So we have tried to answer all your questions 
with absolute frankness.

Questions on Air Conditioning 



year 



1. Is the Burnham Air Conditioner an i 
around one, doing cooling in summer? 

Yes and no. 

It is strictly speaking a winter air conditioning sys- 
tem, the time when conditioning is most needed for 
health and real comfort reasons. 
Although it is equipped with no cooling device, how- 
ever, it does circulate the dead summer air after the 
manner of an electric fan. 

There is no draft, no danger of cold taking. All the 
air in the room is evenly circulated, not just pushed 
from one place to another. 

2. Does it help asthma and hay fever? 

Most emphatically it does. 

The washable glass wool filter captures the pollen 
to a high degree, alleviating and in some cases giving 
entire relief. 

3. Does it do a complete winter air conditioning job 
without the use of ducts, registers or grilles? 

Most assuredly it does. Anything and everything that 
any duct system does, the Burnham does, only in a 
simpler way at far less cost. 

It has the added advantage of individual room con- 
trol. But still that isn't all, you have both radiant and 
converted heat in rightly balanced proportions. A very 
essential point for your comfort and heating economy. 

4. How is the humidity controlled? 

The reason humidity is so vital in the winter, is be- 
cause the heating dries the moisture out of the air. 
That conditioner therefore is the best, which puts 
back just the natural amount that the heat dries out, 
restoring a healthful balance. 

That's exactly what the Burnham does. But it does 
not keep on adding additional moisture beyond that 
restored balance. Systems that do that, are apt to 
cause excessive moisture, causing clouding of win- 
dows, which not infrequently means that moisture runs 
down on the sill. 

5. What equipment do I have to have in my 
basement? 

Absolutely none. No ducts. No fans, no anything but 
just a Burnham Boiler, and the usual pipe to the 
radiators. The air conditioner is in form of a radiator 
that heats besides air conditioning. It's located upstairs 
in the rooms. 

6. How much room does the Burnham Conditioner 
take up? 

Practically no more than the usual grille enclosed 

radiator. 

It fits under any average window. Can be partially 

or entirely recessed exactly like a radiator. 



7. Do the Conditioners do any heating? 

Most emphatically yes. 

Exactly the same as any radiator, 

8. Does it circulate odors and disease germs as duct 
systems are said to do? 

All duct systems recirculate air from the entire house. 
Odors and germs along with it. There is no way to 
prevent it. 

The Burnham with its separate conditioners, instead 
of a central method of distribution, permits of isolat- 
ing any room, and still not in the least effecting the 
heating efficiency of the system. 

9. Of what does a complete Burnham Heating and 
Air Conditioning System consist? 

First there's the boiler and Burnham Slenderized radi- 
ators for steam, hot water or vapor. With automatic 
stoker, oil or gas fuel, the boiler can take care of your 
hot water for kitchen and bath. 
No separate hot water supply boiler needed. 
The only difference from a regular radiator heating 
system is that in place of some radiators, a conditioner 
is used, which does both heating and air conditioning. 

10. How many Unit Air Conditioners do I need? 

The only rooms in which air conditioning is primarily 
needed is the living room, or dining room and possibly 
the master's bed room. 

11. Is a Conditioner necessary in a bed room, where 
the windows are generally open when used for 
sleeping? 

If the user has pollen asthma or hay fever, the out- 
side air can then be introduced solely through the 
conditioner, taking out the pollen and giving decided 
relief. 

12. Do I have to look after the Conditioner, turning 
it on or off or filling it with water? 

Not at all. Everything is automatic. Each Unit is 
controlled by its own separate thermostat. Or it can 
be operated by your regular thermostat the same as 
your radiators are. For summer use in circulating the 
air, there is however a hand switch for the fan. 

13. Must I put in an entire new Burnham heating 
system to get the advantage of the Burnham Air 
Conditioners? 

No indeed. One or more can be used in connection 
with any existing radiator heating. All you do is 
simply replace a radiator with the conditioner. 
The same piping that does for one, does for the other. 
No cutting of walls or floors for grilles or registers. 
No ducts to be installed. Any heating men can install 
a Burnham Air Conditioning Unit in a few hours.

Our Service Helps 

Yon obtain 

THE MOST AID BEST 

for YOUR MONEY 




When you are planning to build, you have many 
decisions to make. These are decisions of importance, 
because it is not easy or economical to change after 
your building is completed. It is therefore in the 
planning stage that our services can be of most value 
to you, and we offer them, without any obligation 
on your part. 

To buy or build a home that will meet your 
expectations and prove a good investment in the 
end, requires careful consideration of several funda- 




mentals: (1) Inside plan that will suit the needs and 
contribute to the comfort and convenience of the 
family; (2) Outside design that will present an at- 
tractive appearance and enhance value; (3) Sound 
construction by a reliable builder; (4) Long-life 
modern materials that will protect your investment 
through permanence and low maintenance costs. 

To make sure of these basic essentials in your 
new home, it will pay you to engage the services of 
a competent architect. His experience will insure a 
home that will meet your requirements; his advice 
will guard you against mistakes and save you many 
future regrets.

PUNNED 

COMFORT .mi 

ECONOMY 



There is one factor entering into home 
building that must be given careful consid- 
eration — that is — the materials themselves. 
For the improvement in many building ma- 
terials has been extraordinary in the past few 
years, particularly in the manner in which 
they affect comfort, permanence and low 
upkeep. 

Quietly, in the secrecy of the research 
laboratory, Carey scientists have been devel- 
oping new and improved building materials. 
Some of these modern Carey materials add 
new comforts — comforts and economies you 
cannot afford to be without — for they return 
in fuel savings more than they cost. Other 
Carey materials pay their way in fire safety, 
lower-cost insurance, in elimination of paint- 
ing, in lifetime service. All Carey Products re- 
duce upkeep in the extra services they render. 

Tell your architect or builder you wish 
to use Carey Products. He will be glad to 
specify them, for the good reputation of 
Carey Products is the result of sixty-six years 



of continuous experience in the manufacture of dependable 
building materials. 

It is the purpose of this book to show the advantages 
you can build into your home by using products of assured 
quality. We will show you samples, styles and colors of 
roofing and siding and many other materials, so you may 
better judge just what you want. In short, we invite you to 
make us a service office for all of your building material 
requirements. It will not obligate you in any way to confer 
with us, and it will enable you to get the most and best 
for your money.

WE ARE AS CLOSE TO YOU AS YOUR 
TELEPHONE FOR THESE AND OTHER 
QUALITY BUILDING MATERIALS 

Your Local Carey Dealer 



other people look at 

roofs first 
...and so shall we 




IN ext time you walk or drive 
down the street, notice that you see 
the roof of a house before you are 
conscious of any other part. 

A proper roof is like a hat that 
supplements and completes the attire 
of a well-dressed person. Because the 
roof is so conspicuous, it should be 
attractive and in complete harmony 
with the style and color of the home. 
Because of the service it must render, 
it should be of a quality about which 
there can be no question. 

The roof has a responsibility next 
in importance to the foundation. It 
must protect everything under it, 
from the furnishings to the building 
itself. The roof, therefore, is NOT the 
place to practice "cost cutting" when 
you build. 

Through years of research and ex- 
perience, Carey has developed a line 
of roofs from which you may select 
the one that will best harmonize with 
the architecture of your home. Carey 
roofs are available in a wide range 
of prices to suit any building budget. 
But regardless of which Carey roof 
you choose, you are sure of maximum 
service for every dollar invested. Ex- 
tra value is a fundamental of every 
Carey roof.

ROOFS THAT COVER YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

ASBESTOS-CEMENT SHINGLES 

Made of the imperishable materials, 
asbestos fibre and Portland cement, 
Careystone Shingles possess the peculiar 
property of increasing in toughness upon 
exposure to the elements. They are fire- 
proof, wear-proof and rot-proof — perma- 
nent as stone and, in appearance give an 
exact reproduction of wood grain — a 
beautiful roof that never requires paint- 
ing or other upkeep. 



Carey 



CORK-INSULATED SHINGLES 

Provide a durable, storm-proof roof plus 
insulation against heat and cold — at a 
cost very little above that of ordinary 
asphalt shingles. Where roof insulation 
is desired, this shingle affords consider- 
able economy, since no additional labor 
or material is required in laying. The 
Cork-Insulated Shingle makes a finished 
roof of pleasing appearance, with deeper 
shadow lines due to the extra thickness. 



Carey 



ASFALTSLATE SHINGLES 

Famous for their long wearing quality 
and natural beauty. They are proof 
against ordinary fire risks — low in up- 
keep, as they never require painting. 
Asfaltslate Shingles, both individual and 
strip, are manufactured on a base of 
tough rag felt, thoroughly saturated and 
coated with asphalt. To this is applied 
a layer of colored mineral granules, 
providing a durable wearing surface in 
natural colors— a roof of lasting beauty.

Have Nothing Else But 

Careystone 

ASBESTOS-CEMENT SHINGLES 

Y 

-Lou wouldn't think of building a home without a permanent 
foundation. Can you afford to build without a permanent roof? 

A permanent roof reduces your upkeep and repair expense; 
insures you against costly leaks; against fire hazards; lowers your 
insurance rates to the minimum; saves you the cost of ever having 
to rip off old shingles and pay for a new roof. Then, too, there's a 
feeling of security in living under a roof you know is fireproof — a 
roof on which sparks, embers, even burning brands fizzle out harm- 
lessly. 

All these advantages — these savings — are yours to enjoy when 
you roof your home with Careystone Asbestos-Cement Shingles. Once 
laid, your roof worries are over. 

All Careystone Shingles, with the exception of the French 
method, have the appearance of wood shingles, the texture being an 
authentic reproduction of wood grain set in everlasting Portland 
cement and asbestos fibre. By a scientific process, these two lifetime 
materials are combined under great pressure, forming a shingle that 
will last as long as the building. 





Budget and Architecture Meet 
on a Common Ground with 

Carey 

ASFALTSLATE SHINGLES 



V^onventional in design, the Carey 
Asfaltslate Shingle is adaptable to many 
architectural treatments . . . assures a roof 
of long life and distinctive beauty at rea- 
sonable cost. 

Made especially rugged and substan- 
tial to insure extra years of trouble-free 
service. A layer of colored mineral gran- 
ules provides a beautiful and durable wear- 
ing surface. Full three thickness coverage 
assures maximum roof protection. 

Asfaltslate Shingles are proof against 
all ordinary fire risks, such as flying sparks 
from chimneys and burning brands from 
neighborhood fires. You protect your home 
against fire, weather and time, when you 
roof with Carey Asfaltslate Shingles. 



THE CERAMIC GRANULES used in the manufacture of 
Carey Shingles are made by applying a high-temperature, 
fusible, colored glaze to a mineral granule base and firing 
the glaze into the surface of the granule at a temperature 
of around 2000 degrees F. The mineral pigment colors and 
the firing conditions are very similar to those used in firing 
the decorative pattern on china or porcelain dishes. The 
color of the granule is just as permanent. It cannot fade 
or wash off. 



Carey Cork-Insulated 
Shingles 

GIVE TWO VALUES AT ONE COST 



A his is the only asphalt shingle with outside mineral 
surface for weather protection; cork underside for insulation. 
The cork layer acts as a barrier to heat and cold; makes the 
home several degrees cooler in summer and correspondingly 
warmer in winter. 

This effective roof insulation is automatically applied when 
the roof is put on, eliminating the extra cost of material and 
labor involved when separate roof insulation is used. 

Fuel Savings Pay the Bill — A study of actual roof condi- 
tions shows that for a roof of average area (15 squares), with 
an average difference between indoor and outdoor temperature 
of 40 degrees F., the home owner who burns fuel at $9 per ton 
can save during a single heating season the difference in cost 
between an ordinary asphalt shingle roof and a Carey Cork- 
Insulated roof . . . and these savings continue year after year. 

Carey Cork-Insulated Shingles are approved by Under- 
writers' Laboratories — assure a beautiful and distinctive roof; 
long, dependable service.

CHOICE OF HARMONIOUS 



_L/ependable, waterproof protection will 
always be the first essential of a good roof. 

Yet the roof must satisfy another important 
requirement — appearance. Because the roof is the 
largest single area in the house and the dominant 
feature of its exterior, it should be in complete 
harmony both with the style of architecture and the 
color of the building. 

Today, more than ever before, outside appear- 
ance is an important factor in home value. Home 
buyers want a roof that emphasizes the character 
of the home — that gives it dignity and charm. Here, 
color plays a vital part. 

Carey Shingle colors have been developed 
through years of careful study and experience in 
satisfying individual preferences of home owners 
and the rigid requirements of architects. 

Carey Shingles are available in an adequate 
range of nature's own colors — warm reds, cool 
greens and beautiful blended tones, as reproduced 
on these pages. These colors harmonize with archi- 
tecturally correct home exteriors and through com- 
bination of colors, an almost endless variety of 



The Emeralblend — one of the attractive blends now available in the Carey Asphalt Shingle line. 
The others are Red, Harvest. Russet and Green Blends and Verdeblend.

OLD COLONY DUO-EDGE 
No. 210 

This is another double 
edge unit, made with 
thatchbutt on one 
edge and wave tine on 
the other. When laid 
with one edge exposed, 
it presents the distinc- 
tive broken lines of 
thatch butt shingles 
laid in random widths. 
By exposing the other 
edge, a very pleasing 
wave line is secured. A unique treat- 
ment may be achieved by using 
both the wave line and thatch bun 
exposures on the same building.

ASBESTOS-CEMENT SIDING

VYhen you specify Careystone Siding, you protect your building 
with a material that is fireproof and wear-proof— impervious to mois- 
ture — as permanent and unburnable as stone itself. 

Can you imagine a more desirable material for protecting the out- 
side walls of jour home? 

Available in a variety of shingle styles and in the time-honored 
Colonial Clapboards, Careystone Siding is perfectly adapted to many 
popular types of architecture. It may be had in styles and colors to meet 
every architectural requirement or personal taste. 

Careystone Siding in Duck's Back White—See for yourself this 
newest development in pure white. It is whiter than white paint and 
stays white even during a soaking rain. Protects your building like a 
duck's back keeps its downy under coat dry and warm. 

Careystone Siding "pays its way" in beauty, permanent service and 
freedom from upkeep.

DRY, HEALTHFUL, USEFUL BASEMENTS 



CAREY DAMP-PROOFING AND WATERPROOFING 

Basements not properly protected against the seepage of ground 
water become damp and unhealthy. To prevent this — to make 
sure your basement will be as dry and healthful as your living 
room, specify Carey Waterproofing Materials in your new home. 

CAREY PERC0PR00F COATING 

This compound, applied to the outside wall, penetrates the pores 
and seals out the ground water, assuring a dry basement. Per- 
coproof comes in cans ready for use. Easily applied by un- 
skilled labor. Must be applied to the outside of the wall only 
— preferably while the building is being erected. 

CAREY PLASTIC WATERPROOFING COMPOUND 

This is a fibrous black cement which is troweled onto the outside 
of the foundation walls, forming a tough and thick adhesive 
layer. Used where building is in low, heavy or soggy ground, 
where greater protection is needed than is afforded by the liquid 
Percoproof Coating. Applied to outside of basement wall only. 

CAREY PERCOPROOF PLASTER ROND 

When moisture soaks through from the outside of concrete, 
brick or hollow tile walls, it often causes ugly stains and cracks 
in the plaster, sometimes causes the plaster to fall. The use of 
Carey Percoproof Plaster Bond prevents the penetration of 
moisture. Applied directly to the wall, it penetrates the pores, 
sealing them against dampness. Percoproof Plaster Bond is of a 
thin, paint-like consistency and comes ready to apply with a 
brush, without the addition of solvents. It leaves the wall in its 
original roughness so that the plaster bonds firmly and per- 
manently.

INSULATIONS 



ncovered steam or hot water pipes act as radiators. They 
waste heat in basement, hollow walls and other places where heat is 
not needed. 

USE CAREYGEL FOR YOUR HEATING SYSTEM 

Careycel Asbestos Insulation is an exclusive, patented Carey Product, 
developed especially for hot water and steam heating systems. Impar- 
tial tests, made by a leading testing laboratory, demonstrated a 30 % 
reduction in heat loss over the air cell type of covering ordinarily 
used. Put Careycel over all pipes leading from boiler to radiator; 
cover boiler with Careycel Asbestos Blocks. The savings in fuel will 
pay for the insulation and continue to pay you dividends in fuel saved 
year after year. 

A CAREY TANK JACKET KEEPS HOT WATER HOT 

Cover your hot water heater with a Carey Tank Jacket. The water will 
heat quicker and stay hot longer. The pipes leading from water heater 
to kitchen and bathroom allow the hot water to cool. Cover these 
pipes with Careycel Insulation and keep the water hot, right up to the 
faucets. This will save you money on water and gas bills; give you 
more hot water when you want it. 

CAREY PERFEGTO PIPE COVERING FOR COLD WATER LINES 

Cold water lines usually run parallel to hot water lines through the 
walls to bathroom and kitchen. These pipes are warmed by the adja- 
cent hot water pipes and it is usually necessary to run the cold water 
for some time to get it cool enough to use. Cover your cold water lines 
with Carey Perfecto Covering — have cool water right up to the faucets 
— reduce your water bills.

tion of Careyduct.

III! THE HOME 



ELIMINATE NOISY WASTE PIPES 

You know how objectionable it is — and sometimes embar- 
rassing — to hear waste water gurgling through the soil 
pipes between the partitions. This is easily overcome by 
insulating the soil pipes with Carey Perfecto Woolfelt 
Pipe Covering. Make Carey Pipe Covering a part of your 
heating and plumbing specifications. The work must be 
done before walls are closed and plastered. 

ELIMINATE SWEATING PIPES 

Like many home owners you probably wish to make use 
of your basement as a recreation room, work shop, or 
laundry. Be sure to cover cold water lines with Carey 
Perfecto, the non-sweat insulation. It will eliminate drip- 
ping from pipes. 

SPECIFY GAREYDUGT FOR YOUR AIR 
CONDITIONING SYSTEM 

If air conditioning is included in your new home, be sure 
to specify Careyduct — the modern asbestos insulated duct, 
Careyduct is fireproof; permanent; will not rust or decay; 
hushes fan noises; insures uniform high efficiency in the 
whole duct system. Size for size, Careyduct is much 
cheaper than insulated metal. Easily erected; easily 
decorated. 



CAREY EXPANSION JOINT PREVENTS 
UNSIGHTLY CRACKS 

Variations in temperature cause concrete work to expand 
and contract. To prevent breakage and cracks due to this 
expansion and contraction, specify Carey Elastite Expan- 
sion Joint to be used in all concrete work about your home. 
Carey Expansion Joint is available in two types: 

A. Standard Asphalt Joint consisting of two layers of 
felt between which is interposed an asphaltic com- 
position. 

B. A sponge rubber type of joint that is resilient. When 
compressed by the expansion of concrete, it will not 
extrude. 

Unsightly cracks in concrete driveways are a thing of the past when 
Carey Elastite Expansion Joint is specified.

HOME INSULATION 

Keeps Heat Inside in Winter 
Keeps Heat Outside in Summer 
Saves up to 30% on Fuel Bills 
No Upkeep Cost 

V^arey Rocktex is the modern Rock Wool Home Insu- 
lation. A 4-inch thick blanket of Rocktex installed in the 
walls and ceiling of your home is as efficient in stopping the 
flow of heat as a solid brick wall about five feet thick. 

Fuel savings are definite because Rocktex stops the loss 
of heat that costs you so much to provide. Rocktex also effects 
important savings in reducing the size of the heating unit 
required to heat an uninsulated building. The saving in cost of 
the heating plant has, in many cases, paid for the insulation. 

HOME IISUL1TI0L..1 

Since Carey Rocktex reduces fuel consumption up to 
30 % or more, it is an important item in household economy. 
In many cases, it will go far toward paying the taxes on the 
property. 

Carey Rocktex Insulation eliminates drafty rooms, cold 
corners and cold floors in winter. By maintaining even tem- 
peratures, it reduces rapidity of air change in the home, 
thereby diminishes evaporation of moisture in the air and 
helps to conserve the proper humidity so essential to health. 

Carey Rocktex gives you increased fire protection. You 
don't have to push your furnace so hard in cold weather; 
thus you eliminate one of the greatest fire hazards. Rocktex 
eliminates lath marks and unsightly dark streaks on ceiling 
and walls. You don't have to redecorate so often, another 
important saving. Rocktex also increases property value. A 
Rocktex Insulated home is more livable — rents to better 
advantage . . . sells at a substantially better price. 

Carey Rocktex is manufactured from mineral materials; 
therefore is permanent. It is fireproof . . . water repellant 
. . . odorless . . . highly efficient . . . light in weight . . . 
will not rot or decay . . . outlasts the building. 

Carey Rocktex is available in forms for easy application 
in any type of building, old or new. Insulate with Carey 
Rocktex — it returns to you in savings more than it costs,

flanked by narrow full length mirror 
panels that extend forward. There is no

behind the two narrow side mirrors, are arranged so as to reflect proper illumination to the 
center of the mirror. Light is also reflected out into the room through the top front panel. 

The two side cabinets are finished inside in Miami white Crystal Snow, guaranteed not to 
retain a stain nor to discolor with age. Three glass shelves are furnished with each cabinet.

The POMPADOUR 



The Pompadour, an ideal unit for guest bathroom, the downstairs lava- 
tory or the dressing room, consists of a 26-inch circular mirror and 
glass-lined recessed shelf. There is no cabinet behind the circular 
mirror. The steel back on which the mirror is mounted is fitted for con- 
cealed hanging on the wall. The new rose (flesh) color mirror is avail- 
able at slight additional cost.

The DUCHESS —The MODERNE 

These two popular cabinets are identical, except that the Duchess has 
the mirror set in a beautiful circular frame of brass, chromium plated. 
styled to match today's modern chromium plated bathroom fixtures and 
accessories. 

When installed in the wall, the Moderne and the Duchess look like 
beautiful circular mirrors hung on the wall. The illustration of the 
Pompadour at the left shows how both models appear when the door is 
closed. The ingenious hinge on which the door is swung permits it to 
be pulled outward over the lavatory so that when opened the mirror is 
only a few inches from the face— an ideal arrangement for shaving or 
dressing the hair. 

The cabinet box of both the Duchess and Moderne is constructed of 
heavy-gauge ARMCO steel. The body and door backs are finished in 
Miami Crystal Snoiv, guaranteed not to retain a stain or to discolor 
with age. Equipped with two adjustable plate glass shelves, and 
Miami chromium plated razor blade drop. Mirror size is 26" circle- 
wall opening, 16y 2 "xl6y 2 "x4 1 / 4". 



The POWDER PUFF 

The custom-built Powder Puff unit, illustrated on the 
left, adds the final touch to the modern powder or 
dressing room. The outside frame is brass finished in 
lustrous chromium plate. The large center mirror is 
genuine "A" quality plate glass in either the new rose 
(flesh) color or regular silver, as desired. 
The small mirrors on either side of the large center mirror are op- 
tional as to color— either rose (flesh), gun metal, blue, green or regular 
silver. The recessed lower shelf may also be had in the same colors 
as the small side mirrors or in regular silver. 

The light brackets are concealed behind the two small side mirrors and 
are so located that the light is reflected onto the large center mirror 
through ground glass panels. The overall size is 35"x41}4"- wall open- 
ing, 34%"x40%"x4%". 




FOR the MODERN POWDER ROOM 

In the home of today, the Powder Room is 
almost as essential as was the bathroom in 
the house of the late nineties. Equipped with 
the beautiful Miami "Powder Puff," it attains 
the utmost in completeness and distinctive- 
ness.

GOTHIC TOP MODELS 

The classic beauty of these two Carey Cabi-

for the modest home and apartment at new 
all-time low prices. We are able to offer 
these two new and different Gothic models 
at such prices only because of improved 
manufacturing methods. 



Nos. 610, 620 

This model has no frame around the mirror. The mirror is hung on a 
steel door of the hollow metal type and covers the entire cabinet so that 
when the cabinet is set in place, the appearance is that of a mirror hung 
on the face of the wall. The arched top suggests this cabinet for the 
bathroom where the design is arched or curved. 

To those who prefer the all-glass front cabinet with no knob, hinges or 
ugly screw heads to mar the face of the mirror, we recommend this 
Gothic model.

both beauty of design and sturdiness of construction — at a moder- 
ate price. When the Aristocrat is set on the wall, it resembles 
an unusually handsome mirror. There is no knob, hardware or

long wear and hard use. Over a forged, brass base, a thick 
coating of nickel is applied and then a covering of hard 
chromium. This method of manufacture assures a product 
that will give utmost satisfaction and retain its original 
brilliance. 

Projection type accessories, a few of which are illustrated 
on the right, are tightly secured with a new type of key plug. 
They are furnished with either "L" lug type brackets for 
installing the fixture permanently into the wall; or with 
"S" screw-on type brackets that fasten to practically any 
surface. The screws are concealed by the front plate of the 
bracket. 

The recessed accessories shown at the bottom of this page 
are provided with larger and wider flanges which eliminate 
open joints, fit perfectly and give a more finished appear- 
ance. When installed, they become a part of the wall itself. 

MIAMI "Time Saver" Recessed Accessories are the same 
in appearance as the Miami Recessed Accessories. Although 
they are smaller, they are equal in inside area to the aver- 
age 6" x 6" china accessory.

OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO INSULATE... 



A N uninsulated house is an expensive house 
to heat — a fuel -waster, cold and drafty in 
winter in spite of everything you can do- — and 
uncomfortably hot in summer. Eighty-three 
out of every hundred people who plan to 
build say they want insulation. 

Thermal insulation may be any substance 
which obstructs the passage of heat. Built 
into the outer walls and top-floor ceilings (or 
under the roof) , insulation saves fuel by keep- 
ing a larger proportion of heat inside the 
house. In summer, by a similar action, insula- 
tion halts heat from the sun, keeps the interior 



of your home cooler by several degrees than 
the outer temperature. 

Many people believe they are insulating their 
houses when they put insulation into the top- 
floor ceiling — but this is only a partial job. 
Be sure to insulate your side walls, too! 

Good insulation pays for itself in fuel savings 
alone in a few years. It makes your house 
more comfortable to live in and easier to sell. 
According to government figures, it is easily 
possible for efficient insulation to save you 
one-fourth to one-third of your fuel bill every 
winter. Let these diagrams show you just how 
insulation works:

The uninsulated house leaks heat 
through walls and roof. It leaks out 
in winter and in during summer. 



The insulated house conserves winter 
heat, saves fuel by preventing excess 
loss through walls and roof. 



The insulated house turns back blister- 
ing sun rays in summer, keeping the 
interior cool. 










This uninsulated house permits the rapid escape of costly 
heat through the roof, which causes snow to melt almost 
as fast as it falls. 




Snow remains on the roof of this insulated house, showing 
that the owner is conserving heat, saving fuel, enjoying 
the benefits of greater comfort. 







THIS IS A 

TYPICAL 

6-ROOM HOUSE 

UNINSULATED 
IT USES 10 TONS OF COAL 



THIS modern 6-room house is typical of thousands. 
It could be your house. It has 1500 square feet 
net of side wall area and 700 feet of top-floor ceiling 
area. There are 17 windows and three outside doors, 
with 170 square feet of glass and door area, and there 
are cracks around them which let in cold air. 

Side walls — ceilings — glass area — eracks around open- 
ings — those are the four places where heat is rapidly 
lost in any house. 

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that this house 
with no insulation will use 10 tons of coal during an 
average winter. You may use oil or gas heat, but the 
proportions will remain the same. The charts show 
you just how much fuel is required to overcome the 
four sources of heat loss — and how each of the losses 
can be effectively cut : 



Of the 10 tons, 2.3 tons 
go to replace heat lost JM 
through the top-floor ceil- 
ings of this house. 




4.4 tons of coal are used 
to replace heat which , 
has escaped through side S 
walls— the largest single 
heat-wasting area. 



Heat lost through glass 
accounts for 2.2 tons of 
the required coal. 



Cold air coming in 
around windows and 
doors must be warmed 
— takes 1,1 tons of coal.

The house has now been insulated with Celotex 
Vapor-seal Sheathing and Lath. Instead of 10 
tons, only 7.1 tons of coal will be needed to 
maintain winter comfort in the same house 
during the same winter. 
CELOTEX INSULATION SAVES 2.9 TONS 
OF COAL! 



Thanks to 1" Celolex Vapor- 
seal Lath insulation, less heat 
escapes through top-floor ceil- 
ings — and only 1.3 tons of 
coal are required to replace 
that loss. 



2%2 W Celotex Sheathing and 
J / 2 " Lath have reduced heat 
loss through side walls, so that 
now only 2.5 tons of coal are 
needed to make up this loss.

Celotex Insulation does not 
affect heat loss through glass, 
so this figure is still 2.2 tons. 



Cracks around doors and

tons of coal to keep the same house at the same 
comfort levels.

SIDE WALLS... 

ARE YOUR LARGEST HEAT-WASTING AREA 

It Is All-Important That They Be Insulated 
When Your Home Is Built 



TO INSULATE ROOF AND NOT 
SIDE WALLS IS LIKE WEARING 
A MACKINAW AND NO PANTS! 



r 1 1 HERE are more square feet of 
heat-wasting area in the side walls 
of a house than in any other single 
factor of fuel waste! And the only 
time these walls can be insulated effi- 
ciently and economically is at the time 
they are being built! 

If it becomes a question of cutting 
costs, you can add roof or top-floor- 
ceiling insulation later on, without 
any appreciable price penalty or sac- 
rifice of efficiency. Storm sash can be 
added at any time, without increasing 
their cost. But side wall insulation, 
to do its job well and permanently, 
must be built into the walls before 
they are completed. 



You would hardly venture out into a 
blizzard wearing a mackinaw — with- 
out protection for your legs ! Yet that 
is what it would amount to, if you 
built roof insulation into your new 
home and left the side walls uninsu- 
lated. Side-wall leakage lets drafts in. 
Side-wall leakage is what made the 
"north bedroom" a veritable cold 
storage plant in your grandmother's 
uninsulated house. 

Be sure you provide insulation of 
proved efficiency for your side walls at 
the time your house is built ! 






CELOTEX VAPOR-SEAL SHEATHING 

. . . USED IN PLACE OF ORDINARY 

SHEATHING . . . 






fc««„ 




DOES 3 JOBS 

AT 
ONE LOW COST 

"C 1 VERY frame, brick veneer, stone veneer, or 
stucco house requires sheathing. This is the 
material which, nailed to the studding, first en- 
closes the building. In old-fashioned construc- 
tion, wood boards were used for this purpose. 
This wood sheathing was then covered with 
building paper, after which the wood siding, 
brick veneer, stone veneer, or stucco was then 
added to complete the wall. 

Today, big, rigid boards of Celotex Vapor-seal 
Sheathing replace ordinary sheathing. Actual 
tests have proved repeatedly that this material 
provides more structural strength. In addition, 
at the one cost, it furnishes insulation of proved 
efficiency and the vapor seal so necessary with 
modern air-conditioning heating plants. In 
milder climates, this vapor seal is equally impor- 
tant as a preventative of troublesome condensa- 
tion on walls. 

Two ordinary expenses — sheathing and building 
paper — are eliminated, making the net installed 
cost of your guaranteed Celotex Vapor-seal 
Sheathing very low indeed! In fact, its cost in 
many markets is actually no more than that of 
ordinary wood sheathing. Ask your Celotex 
Dealer about it! 



Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing 4 feet wide is nailed 
with four rows of nails, giving bracing strength 
equal to diagonal wood sheathing, and far greater 
than horizontal wood sheathing. Easy to handle, it 
goes up fast, stays put! 

Cut into a piece of Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing. 
See the millions of closely knit fibres which form 
the insulation — the coatings of asphalt and alumi- 
num which provide the needed vapor seal! 



CELOTEX VAPOR-SEAL SHEATHING 

Means a STRONGER Sheathing, without Cracks or Knot Holes for Heat Leakage 




T^HIS photograph shows the famous turnbuckle test, made 
by Columbia University, the University of Minnesota, and 
many other recognized authorities, which proves that Celotex 
Vapor-seal Sheathing has far greater bracing strength than 
horizontal wood sheathing. 

Frames of equal size are built side by side, one covered with 
wood sheathing and the other with Celotex Sheathing. Then 
a turnbuckle is used to exert equal pulling power on both 
panels. The Celotex panel always holds its position, while the 
panel built with wood sheathing is drawn out of shape. Thus, 
is proved that with Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing, you are 
assured a rigidly framed house which will resist distortion due 
to wind pressure or settling strains. This also reduces the 
chances of cracked plaster. 

Furthermore, there are usually knot holes and cracks in wood 
sheathing — but every board of Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing 
is perfect, free from openings of any sort, wind and weather- 
tight! No wonder it prevents drafts and heat leakage. Ask 
your Celotex Dealer ! 



NEW CENTER MATCHED VAPOR-SEAL SHEATHING 

Applied Horizontally, Makes Weather-Tight Wall 



i^ONTRACTORS and carpenters are en- 
thusiastic in their praise of the new 
Celotex Center Matched Vapor-seal Sheath- 
ing, which comes in boards two by eight 
feet with tongue and groove running the 
long way. They say this smaller size makes 
the boards easy to handle, and that apply- 
ing them horizontally gives a maximum of 
bracing strength. 

There is no possibility of heat-leakage 
through cracks, since the center matched 
feature effectively closes horizontal joints, 
and all vertical joints occur on studding. 
Ask your local Celotex Dealer about this 
latest development in Celotex Vapor-seal 
Insulating Sheathing. 




CELOTEX VAPOR-SEAL LATH 



i\ 



v- 



IN OUTER WALLS AND TOP-FLOOR CEILINGS 

Meeti 3 tl&uuAem&iti oil \£<uu Gait 



l^VERY home with a plastered interior must have some 
kind of lath or plaster base. Celotex Vapor-seal Insu- 
lating Lath meets that requirement — furnishes an excellent 
plaster base. But in addition, at the same initial cost, this 
proved material provides efficient modern insulation for 
outer walls and top-floor ceilings, plus a scientifically cor- 
rect vapor seal to prevent harmful moisture condensation 
in between-wall space. 

Lathers and plasterers like to work with Celotex Vapor-seal 
Lath. It goes up easily, bends safely around moderate 
curves, insures a wall permanently free from ugly, disfig- 
uring lath marks. Moreover, it reduces the chance of plaster 
cracking by providing a continuous uninterrupted plaster 
base which adds strength to the entire building. 





By providing a continuous plaster backing and a strong, uninter- 
rupted bond between plaster and lath, Celotex Vapor-seal Lath 
reduces chance of plaster cracks. 

CELOTEX LATH ON INNER WALLS 

ObeadetU Sound, . . Qon^Ui^i Aloiie 

T>E sure to use standard Celotex Insulating Lath for the inner 
*-* walls of your home — for its strength, its freedom from lath 
marks, and its remarkable sound-deadening efficiency. 

Noise, like heat, has trouble penetrating those closely-knit cane 
fibres with their millions of dead-air cells. This sound-deadening 
efficiency helps keep street noises from coming in, helps confine 
inside noises — radio, laughter, children at play — to the rooms 
where they originate. To make your home truly modern, use 
Celotex Lath on all walls to insulate it against noise as well as 
fuel waste. Ask your Celotex Dealer !

(INSTRUCTION 



PERMITS EVAPORATION, KEEPS WALLS DRY AND SOUND 




"Breathing space" in walls is important. It permits evapo- 
ration of any moisture which may penetrate between walls, 
and is a definite aid in keeping wood dry and sound through 
years of service. 

WTHEN you insulate with Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing 
and Vapor-seal Lath, this important breathing space is 
kept open. Recommended Celotex construction calls for 
2 %2" Vapor-seal Sheathing combined with l / 2 " Vapor-seal 
Lath for the walls, and 1" Vapor-seal Lath on top-floor ceilings. 
This gives you complete, efficient insulation, guaranteed in 
writing for the life of the building.* 

You actually pay for insulation, whether you get it or not! 
You pay for it, in actual cash paid out for wasted fuel. On the 
other hand, if you finance your house over 20 years, any slight 
increase in your initial payment to include Celotex insulation 
is more than covered by your fuel savings the first winter. 
From that time on, every year of the 20, your Celotex Insula- 
tion pays you a dividend as high as 200% to 300% !

CELOTEX INTERIOR FINISH 



BUILDS, DECORATES, INSUIATES-K\ ONE COST! 




TVTORTH, East, South, West, America is discovering the 
•*• ^ beauty and economy of Celotex Insulating Interior 
Finish ! Instead of insulating, lathing, plastering, and deco- 
rating, thousands of home owners are using this modern 
method of meeting all four requirements with one material, 
in a single operation! 

Celotex Key Joint Units, for example, furnish a full three- 
quarters inch of efficient insulation. Applied direct to open 
framing, they design as they build, requiring no sawing or 
cutting except at room borders and openings. All edges of 
each unit are beautifully detailed; the patented spline con- 
ceals open cracks. And their factory-applied finish of rich, 
smooth ivory color does away with further need for deco- 
ration. (See Massachusetts photo at left.) 

Celotex Insulating Plank and Tile, available in many tints 
and textures, likewise combine decoration and insulation. 
Be sure to have your own Celotex Dealer show you samples 
and demonstrate the many beautiful effects which can be 
achieved so easily — and so economically! 



CELOTEX KEY JOINT UNITS 
DESIGN AS THEY BUILD 

You can see in the photograph below how beauti- 
fully all edges of Celotex Key Joint Units are de- 
tailed — and how the spline hides cracks. Nail heads 
are hidden in the depth and shadow of the joints.

Authentic English Provincial in style, this cozy, livable 
room uses Celotex Plank horizontally below the chair rail 
and vertically in a lighter finish above. Celotex Hardboard 
Moulding makes the interesting cornice, with Celotex Plank 
in random widths for the ceiling. The corner cupboard is 
of Celotex Studio Board painted white. 





ATTIC DEN SAVES FUEL 
FOR WHOLE HOUSE 

Two worthwhile purposes were accom- 
plished by this Celotex-finished attic den: 
First, the whole family gained a cozy, se- 
cluded spot for lounging or recreation, cool 
in summer and warm in winter. Second, 
fuel bills were cut, because the Celotex In- 
terior Finish acts as insulation, reduces 
heat loss through the roof. 




ATTIC ROOM FOR "TEEN-AGE" GIRL 

by editors of "BETTER HOMES & GARDENS" 



• Here's a room that caters to every whim of the "young lady of the house" — a place to 
sleep, study, sew, or hold little informal social gatherings with school chums. It's a room 
shell not only love, but one she will love you for giving to her — and you can so easily! 

Completely planned and furnished by the editors of Better Homes & Gardens Magazine 
for a girl, this room could be quickly adapted to the use of a boy, or two boys. And the 
Celotex Interior Finish Products used not only mean low cost, easy heating in winter and 
cool comfort on hot summer days — but a definite aid in cutting fuel bills for the whole house 
as well. Because the proved insulating value of these products helps prevent the escape 
of valuable heat through the roof.

a place where they're free to have all the fun there is. Your 
home should have such a room.

THE ACTUAL NET COST OF CELOTEX 

Used in Constructing Your New Home 



W\ s oi 



W.W. Norris, President of the well known Walter Norris 
Company, Chicago, says, "Because Celotex Insulation 
does a triple job — builds, vapor-seals, and insulates — at 
one cost, I will duplicate this large 6-room home, in the 
Chicago area, and the cost of complete Celotex Insulation 
will be only $93.30." 





"Because Celotex Insulation builds, insulates, and 
vapor-seals at one cost, complete insulation in this big 
6-room house cost only $85 net!" says W. T. Nagle, 
Saginaw, Michigan, Designer and Builder. Low net 
costs are possible because Celotex Insulation replaces 
other materials, contributes structural strength ! 

In this charming suburban home the difference be- 
tween uninsulated construction and complete insula- 
tion with Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing and Lath was 
less than $95! The owner actually gets $335 worth 
of guaranteed insulation, but pays far less because 
Celotex eliminates $235 worth of other materials!

tected against termites and dry rot by the exclusive, 
patented Ferox Process.

Tiny air and moisture bubbles, trapped inside roof- 
ing felts during manufacture, contract with cold . . . 




...and expand with heat, weakening the structure 
and eventually leading to trouble. The Celotex 
Triple Sealed Process drives out pocketed air and 
moisture — gives 3-way protection I 



The roof of your home will be its most important single factor of pro- 
tection from weather. When you buy that protection, you want as many 
years of service as you can possibly get for your money. You want a roof 
which will not only give you full protection for a maximum span of 
years, but which will be in keeping with the architecture of your home 
— styled for beauty and color. 

Since fire insurance is one of the important items to consider in figuring 
costs, you want a roof which entitles you to a low fire insurance rate. 

Insist on Celotex Triple Sealed Shingles — for extra service at no extra 
cost — for the utmost in modern style and beauty — and for insurance 
savings! The Celotex Triple Sealed manufacturing process gives you 
three-way protection from rain, heat, wind, and snow. 

(1) Inner Sealed — By special process, asphalt is forced into felt base from 
one side only! Air and moisture are driven out ahead of the asphalt, 

(2) Outer Sealed — The saturated base is next dipped in an asphalt bath — 
encased in a second seal. 

(3) Face Sealed — Finally, a tempered mineral-filled asphalt coating is ap- 
plied — thus forming a tough, durable third seal.

CRANE-EQUIP YOUR ENTIRE HOME 

FOR MAXIMUM SATISFACTION 



"DEGARDLESS of the size of the home — regard- 
less of the price range, it is deserving of the 
best in equipment. In plumbing and heating this 
best by any standard is Crane. 

The name Crane has stood for quality in materials 
and workmanship since the founding of the com- 
pany over 80 years ago. So synonymous have been 
the two, Crane and Quality, that many people 
have jumped to the erroneous conclusion that 
Crane fixtures must be high priced. As a matter 
of fact, you pay no more for Crane Quality than 
for much plumbing and heating equipment similar 
in general appearance but of greatly inferior value. 
Often Crane fixtures cost less to install. 



The huge Crane plants producing porcelain enamel 
and vitreous china plumbing equipment — radia- 
tion and boilers— valves and fittings— coupled 
with the extensive Crane distribution system, 
nation-wide in scope, mean modern mass opera- 
tion and therefore the lowest possible price con- 
sistent with high quality. 

For the satisfaction of having the best, the most 
complete, convenient and modern home one could 
desire, Crane-Equip throughout with Crane Bath- 
tubs, Lavatories, Showers, Sinks, Laundry Tubs, 
Crane Boiler, Radiators, Convectors, even Crane 
Valves and Fittings. Specify Crane and be sure of 
enduring quality and an investment in long, 
satisfactory service.

YOU A 
CHARMING 
BATHROOM 




|3j 



* 




PROBABLY no room in the house offers a 
greater opportunity for the exercise of in- 
genuity in planning than the bathroom. Here is a 
room that first of all, should be convenient and 
practical, but at the same time the chance to make 
the bath charming and inviting, too, must not 
be overlooked. 

Ol course, any bathroom plan must take into 
consideration the hidden piping— the valves and 
fittings behind the walls and beneath the floors, 
upon whose proper planning the efficiency of the 
room depends. Naturally, you will want to con- 
sult with your architect and plumbing contractor 
on this important phase of planning. 

These experts can help you too in the arrangement 
of fixtures — the convenient little places for storage 
—the interesting architectural effects and the 
decoration that you will want. 

In the matter of color, you can, if you like, install 
gleaming white Crane fixtures which will fit in 
with any color scheme you may choose. Or you 



can have handsome Crane fixtures in colors — for 
Crane lavatories, bathtubs and closets are all 
made in Orchid Pink, India Ivory, Citrus Yellow, 
Suntan, Pale Jade, Lucerne Blue, Persian Red, 
and Black, as well as White. This not only offers 
you a wide selection of fixture colors, but many 
an opportunity for interesting color effects in 
your bathroom as well. 

To help you in planning your bathroom, Crane 
has provided a bathroom planning service, avail- 
able for consultation at every Crane Branch. This 
complete service will be of help to you in every 
step of your planning, giving you valuable in- 
formation on room arrangement, on the selection 
of materials and actually helping you to obtain 
the best plan to suit your room and your taste. 

In addition to this service, Crane has prepared a 
book on bathroom planning that will be of interest 
to you in planning a room to suit your taste. For

NEUVOGUE BATHROOM FIXTURES 




eau 



tlTUl 



NEUVOGUE is Crane's answer to modern 
styling. Indeed, Neuvogue represents a new 
departure in the bath for the modern home. 
Simple, functional, practical, these fixtures take 
on a sculptured charm from their pure lines and 
flat planes — a charm the more harmonious and 
pleasing because it is inherent in the design of 
each piece. 

Conceived in the spirit of today's demand, utility 
made beautiful — the Neuvogue design joins the 
essential lines, planes and curves into an artistic 
relationship and without the addition of ex- 
traneous ornaments, each piece emerges a thing 
of beauty in its own right. 

Perhaps most remarkable at first glance, is the 
achievement expressed in the lavatory. The con- 
ventional oval bowl has given way to a new shape, 
wide at the front with lots of room for head and 



elbows. It curves back in a sweeping line with 
ample shelf space — just where you want it. 

This is made possible by the new treatment of 
the faucets for in Neuvogue the supply fittings and 
waste control have been grouped together— out 
of the way — yet easily accessible. 

Consider the tub. The wide, flat surface provides a 
convenient comfortable seat. The nearly vertical 
sides add to the bottom area of the tub— assure a 
roomy luxurious bath. 

In the Neuvogue closet the continuation of the 
planes of the tank to the floor not only eliminates 
exposed pipes, making for easy cleaning, but gives 
a long, vertical line so simple and dignified. 
Neuvogue fixtures may be had in white or in any 
standard Crane color. 




NEUVOGUE CORNER 
BATHTUB C 32 2 5 
Made for either corner or recessed 
installation. Sides are nearly verti- 
cal to take advantage of every 
square inch of room, and sloping 
end provides an ideal back rest. 
Flat bottom increases safety and 
wide comfortable seat on the rim 
makes this an ideal tub for foot 
bathing. 




NEUVOGUE FITTINGS 
On bathtub and lavatory the generous 
sized handles, so easy even for wet 
fingers to grasp, operate at a touch. 
Their position gives a visual guide 
to the temperature of the water. 
Sturdy, strong, they assure the maxi- 
mum in efficient service. 



NEUVOGUE CLOSETS C 10381 
A truly modern closet to suit today's 
tastes. The tank has been narrowed to 
give slender lines to the fixture. Solid 
base at the floor makes cleaning easy 
leaving no hidden corners. The seats 
are plain surfaced when closed to 
harmonize with the overall design; 
open to a hygienically correct curve 
approved by medical authorities. 





NEUVOGUE RECEPTOR 

BATH C 3190 
Ideal for use with a shower in 
the small room or room of 
unusual shape. Despite its 4-ft. 
width the receptor actually 
gives the equivalent of a bath- 
tub 5}4 ft- long. Large, flat bot- 
tom means greater safety. 










A novel idea in bathroom fixtures, 
the Neupogue lavatory has the con- 
trols grouped together at the center, 
leaving the top area free for toilet 
articles. Basin has the width at the 
front where it is wanted. Comes in 
flat bar support as shown or with 
metal legs or pedestal base.

Modern in design with many new and advanced 
features, the Crane complete line of paneled fix- 
tures offers the utmost in style and appearance as 
well as the utmost in utility and efficiency. The 
panel design so characteristic of the bathtub may 
be seen echoed in the front of the lavatory and the 
tank of the closet. Together these fixtures offer a 
unified matched set that will lend an air of charm 
and distinction to any bathroom. 

But handsome as Crane paneled fixtures are, they 
present a practical beauty; for each fixture is care- 
fully designed for the utmost efficiency and service, 
the utmost utility in performing the purpose for 
which it is intended. 

Consider the bathtub illustrated above — its low 
height, only sixteen inches from floor to rim, 
makes it easy to step in and out, straight sides 
increase its capacity so that it holds more water 
than the conventional tub. The flat bottom reduces 
the danger of slipping; and the rim has been 



widened at the front to form a comfortable seat 
so convenient when foot bathing or in dressing. 

Or take the lavatory. The basin has been widened 
in the front; and its sweeping curve not only gives 
lots of room where it is most needed, but makes 
available a convenient flat space for placing toilet 
articles as well. The modern fittings assure rapid 
draining — a waste control that operates at the 
touch of a finger. 

In the closet, again functional design has made the 
fixture pleasing because of its very practicability. 
The seat is low for comfort and the whole fixture 
compact — designed to occupy the minimum 
amount of space. The elimination of connecting 
pipes between bowl and tank not only gives the 
closet a modern appearance, but aids in prevent- 
ing embarrassing noise. 

In the complete line of Crane matched panel 
fixtures, you will find just the equipment best 
suited to your taste and your pocketbook; made in 
white and all standard Crane colors.

WHY NOT A 

HALF BATHROOM 
FOR YOUR HOME? 



THE Half Bathroom also known as the Powder Room 
or Downstairs Lavatory, is a much appreciated addi- 
tion to any home. Occupying but little space, in fact, often 
tucked in at the end of a hall or below a stairs, the Half 
Bathroom practically doubles the sanitary facilities of 
many homes and is considerably less expensive to install 
than a complete bathroom. In a two storied home the 
Half Bathroom located downstairs is today considered a 
necessity. It is convenient when guests are being enter- 
tained; and its saving in energy for the homeowner makes 
it a worthwhile investment. The Half Bathroom can be 
extremely simple in treatment or it can be made into a 
distinctive powder room, such as the one shown, as the 
taste of the owner dictates. 

In the complete Crane line there are fixtures just suited to 
the Half Bathroom. Quiet closets are designed to fit in the 
confined space available — lavatories with large, usable 
areas ideal for toilet articles — handsome and convenient 
mirrors and accessories, as well. 

Be sure to consult with your Architect or Master Plumbei 
on the addition of this valuable room to your home.

SUPERIORITY OF 



QUALITY COUNTS IN THE EQUIPMENT 
YOU INSTALL 

In choosing plumbing and heating equipment for the home, 
quality is of paramount importance; for replacements are 
difficult and costly and a single bill for repairs may easily 
be greater than the slight difference in cost between Crane 
high quality and equipment of inferior construction. Then, 
too, the matter of pride must be taken into consideration; 
for plumbing and heating equipment is purchased on a 
long time basis and the enduring beauty of Crane-Equip- 
ment will remain a testimony to your taste and judgment 
for the life of the house. Below is a brief discussion of the 
quality Crane builds into all equipment carrying that 
name. Because of space limitations it is necessarily brief, 
but it will suggest to you the importance of selecting 
equipment made by a reliable manufacturer. 

CRANE VITREOUS CHINA

CRANE ACID-RESISTING PORCELAIN ENAMEL 

In the making of the smooth 
close-grained gray iron castings 
and in the even application of 
porcelain enamel, every step in 
the production of Crane enamel- 
ware is under the most careful 
control and rigid inspection. The 
result is a product that shows 
its quality by comparison. 

Crane porcelain enamel is 
smooth and easily cleaned with a damp cloth. The acid- 
resisting finish makes it impervious to fruit juices or house- 
hold acids — it is durable and will retain its beauty for years. 
In the purchase of inferior porcelain enamel there are pit- 
falls for the unwary; for while its defects may not be really 
apparent, yet these flaws may develop after installation. 
The name Crane is your guarantee of maximum quality and 
maximum service— your assurance that careful supervision 
and inspection have protected you against defects. 

CRANE QUALITY PLUMBING BRASS 

Important as are beauty of 
design and smooth, gleam- 
ing finish in plumbing fix- 
tures, equally important 
are faucets which deliver 




the water, the waste that 
assures proper draining if 
you are to receive the years 
of satisfactory service 
which you have a right to 
expect from the plumbing 
equipment you buy. Crane fittings are ruggedly designed to 
give plus service. Their smooth, heavy chromium-plated 
finish not only adds to the beauty of the fixture, but means 
easy cleaning and long life as well. In design, Crane Plumb- 
ing Brass assures better performance, easy repairs and 
more satisfactory service. 



CRANE QUALITY BRASS HAS FEATURES YOUR HOME DESERVES 




Newsleeve Faucet Unit — Longer life for fau- 
cets is found in the Newsleeve unit. Entire 
operating unit may be replaced without re- 
moving faucet from fixture, slips in like a 

cartridge. 




Accesso Bath Waste— An exclusive Crane design, 
that seals the tub at outlet; water used by 
previous bather cannot contaminate fresh 
supply. Positive lever action— tight and 
trouble-free. 







Lever Action Secure — Quick draining lavatory 
waste. Designed to produce rush of water 
which leaves the bowl clean. Positive action 
operates with a touch of the finger. Strainer

runs from the spout. Raise the knob; it gushes from the 
shower. When the water is shut off knob drops back. 
No chance of an inadvertent dousing.

FAMILY PLANNED KITCHENS 



WHAT do you expect of your 
kitchen? First, of course, you 
want a comfortable place to work— a 
room designed to help you perform 
your tasks with a minimum of steps 
and a minimum of effort. Then you 
want a cheery, happy room, pleasant 
and homelike. But Crane home 
economics experts have found that a 
kitchen in most homes is more than 
just a room where meals are prepared — 
for instance most families eat one or more meals 
per day in the kitchen — many housewives prefer to 
do their ironing in the kitchen; and it is not un- 
common for the kitchen to become a sewing room 
in off hours. 

Growing children, sometimes, like a place to study 
near where mother is working. Nothing appeals 
more surely to the guests who come in for an 
evening than refreshments served with studied 
informality in a kitchen designed for that purpose. 




For years Crane Co. has led in the 
scientifically planned Kitchen; and 
these years of experience are your guar- 
antee that your Crane planned kitchen 
will, indeed, save you steps and make 
your housework easier. But the Crane 
Family Planned Kitchen is a new 
conception in kitchen planning, de- 

r signed to suit you, your needs, your 

household and your tastes. Here are 
some suggestions: 

EATING — Most American Families like to eat at 
least one meal a day in the kitchen. This being the 
case, many kitchens should certainly be planned 
with this function in mind. A breakfast nook or 
dinette may be provided in a plan that takes effi- 
cient kitchen layout into consideration as well. 
IRONING — With an ironing board that swings 
down from the wall when the cabinet is opened 
and an electrical outlet right there for the iron — 
it is so convenient to do this task in the kitchen. 



13 



And when the ironing is over, the board is raised 
out of the way — and the kitchen is spick and 
span in an instant. 

SEWING — What to do with the sewing machine 
is a problem in most every home. Here is a happy 
solution. With an electric outlet available, with 
a table on which to spread patterns, cloth, pins, 
thread — the kitchen seems to be quite a popular 
place for sewing. A special cabinet can be provided 
to conceal the sewing machine. 

PLAYING — The dining space with its table and 
chairs provides an excellent spot for the smaller 
members of the family while mother is at work. 
Here in a handy cabinet they can have their toys 
and dolls — their paints and papers. Easily cleaned 
floors that defy rough usage are another added 
advantage. 



the kitchen the 
amazing how 



ENTERTAINMENT — With 

'* showroom" of the house, it is 

guests will gravitate to it. Many of today's most 

successful parties have been held in the kitchen — 

not because they were planned that way, but 

because of its attractiveness and intimacy. And 

what more ideal spot in the house is there for the 

children to entertain than in the kitchen. Here 



they can pop command here is plenty of woi'king 
area on which they can make candy. 

RESTING — Many are the five- and ten-minute 
periods when you want to sit down and rest — time 
too short to go to the living room, yet too long 
to leave something you are cooking. Most women 
tell us that they like a comfortable place to sit 
down — so they see to it that there is a place that 
can be used for this purpose. 

But these are only a few ways in which the Family 
Planned Kitchen can serve you. For regardless of 
what you expect of your kitchen, a Crane Family 
Planned Kitchen can give you the features you 
want and at the same time assure you an efficient, 
modern kitchen designed to make your tasks easier. 

Crane will help you to have the kitchen you want. 
Be sure to send for the booklet " Family Planned 
Kitchens" described on page ir/ containing much 
interesting information for you on the modern, 
humanized kitchen. 

The nearest Crane Branch also has valuable infor- 
mation on Kitchen Planning available for your 
use or the use of your Architect and Plumbing 
Contractor. Be sure to see this interesting material 
before you plan your kitchen.

CRANE AUTOMATIC HEATING 



WITH Crane 
Automatic 
Heating on the 
job you can re- 
lax with never a 
thought of tend- 
m ing the furnace 
— the thermo- 
stat on the wall, 
set at the temper- 
ature you want 
maintained, 
tends the fire for 
you, automatic- 
ally providing the correct amount of heat with- 
out a thought or care on your part. 

Modern, automatic heating systems consist of 
many separate parts, all of which must function 
not only individually, but in combination with 
all other parts if maximum heating efficiency is to 
be assured. The stoker or oil burner must be 
properly designed for the boiler — the boiler must 
be of both the right size and right type for the 
whole system — pipe, valves, radiators, convectors 




— all form essential parts of the system, the 
efficiency of which depends on their proper 
functioning as a unit. 

Because the Crane heating line is complete — 
because it includes boilers of every size and style 
to burn coal, oil or gas — because valves, fittings, 
radiators, convectors, controls and water special- 
ties, all carry the name Crane, you are assured of 
maximum satisfaction when your heating system 
is a Crane system. Then, too, one responsibility 
for all the equipment means a completely guar- 
anteed system with minimum annoyance and 
maximum satisfaction. 

Every heating system is of necessity tailored for 
each house. Comfortable, economical heating de- 
pends upon the experience of the man who designs 
the heating system. Your Architect, Heating 
Engineer and Heating Contractor, because of their 
years of experience are familiar with heating 
problems. Their impartial judgment can be relied 
upon to recommend the system best suited to your 
needs. Whatever their recommendation you will 
find just the equipment to give you the best overall 
satisfaction in the complete Crane line.

NEW CRANE NO. 10 BOILER 



Here is a boiler, newly designed for today's needs — ^possess- 
ing features that make it ideal for any installation for it is 
designed to burn coal or coke, oil or gas efficiently and 
economically. The extra high base means a deep ash pit 
ideal for stoker installation. The removable grate supports 
make it practical to install the No. 10 as a hand-fired boiler 
and later to convert it to stoker firing or change it over for 
oil or gas firing if desired. 

This flexibility means absolute independence of fuel supply 
and is an additional sales feature in case the house is sold. 

The new Crane No. 10 Boiler incorporates all those features 
that Crane Research and modern heating practice have 
proved most satisfactory in home heating — most economical 



in fuel consumption. Because of enlarged flue area more 
heat is absorbed from the gases as they travel back and 
forth through the flues until every last bit of available heat 
is transmitted to the water. Bubbles which form on the 
inside of the boiler and actually insulate against heat, 
wasting fuel dollars are scrubbed away by the rapid flow 
of water. 

All this means savings for the homeowner — better heating 
as well. 

In the New No. 10 the handsome dark green jacket ex- 
tends clear to the floor and is heavily insulated with asbestos 
which stops heat loss. Be sure to consider this modern boiler 
when you are planning a new heating system. 



AN ALL PURPOSE BOILER FOR ANY FUEL 




FEATURES OF THE NO. 10 



i. Designed to burn any fuel. Oil burner or gas burner may be 
installed in front. Stoker may be installed at either front or 
side. 

z. Removable grate supports and high base make installation 
of stoker at a later date simple and inexpensive. 

3. Built-in water heater can be furnished to provide an econom- 
ical supply of hot water for laundry, kitchen and bath. 

4. Handles are non -heating and hinges are concealed. 

5. Enlarged flue area means greater heating efficiency — lower 
fuel bills. 

6. No need of frequent firing, an extra large combustion chamber 
holds ample fuel. 

7. Crane patented water travel improves heat absorption— 
means fuel saving. 

8. Handsome insulated green jacket finished in baked-on-enamel, 
extends clear to the floor. 

9. Large doors mean easy firing and easy ash removal. 

10. Clinkers cannot force grates out of position — non-jumping 
sockets keep them in place. 

11. Greater ceiling surface than in ordinary boilers. More water 
surface is exposed to heat which means saving in fuel. 

ii. A quick installation — free from leaks — is assured because all 
Crane Boilers are assembled at the factory and tested before 
shipment.

CRANE COAL-FIRED BOILERS 



CRANE NO. 110 
SECTIONAL BOILER 

Similar to the Crane No. 10 Boiler but designed to sell at a lower 
price, the No. no can well be said to give the greatest dollar's 
worth of heating satisfaction. The handsome dark green jacket 
extends to the base and is of baked-on enamel — easy to clean. This 
new boiler has enlarged flue area and the Crane patented water 
travel to assure maximum economy. Large doors are a great 
convenience in firing, and handles are insulated. Grates are 
non- jumping. 

This boiler is designed for coal firing by hand or stoker or may be 
equipped with an oil burner. May also be had with an external 
hot water heater to provide a supply of hot water for laundry, 
kitchen and bath if desired. Crane Quality throughout, designed 
to give the maximum heating satisfaction and to assure years 
of comfort. 





CRANE NO. 2 
SECTIONAL BOILER 

For the large house, or the building requiring a boiler 
of greater heating capacity than the No. 10 or the no, 
the Crane No. i Boiler is recommended. Compact in 
design, highly efficient, this sturdy member of the 
Crane line of Boilers is highly efficient. The patented 
Crane water travel actually represents a saving in fuel 
dollars. The jacket of this boiler is dark green with a 
baked-on enamel finish. May be had with an attached 
domestic water heater if desired, and may be used for 
hand-firing or stoker firing, of coal or with an oil 
burner.

CRANE OIL BURNING BOILERS 

Sustained Heat Boiler Burner Unit 




Unhampered by tradition, Crane en- 
gineers designed this complete pack- 
aged unit to heat the home most 
economically and efficiently using 
oil as a fuel. 

The Sustained Heat Principle, ex- 
clusive with Crane, prevents the 
escape of heat when the burner shuts 
off. The trapped hot gases are con- 
fined at the top of the boiler and are 
conducted downward as they cool, 
released only when their heat has been utilized. 

Incorporated in this boiler is the Crane patented baffle 
which controls water travel forcing it to flow over the 
heating surfaces countercurrent to the hot gases. This 
assures the water being heated quickly — efficiently. The 
Sustained Heat Boiler together with the burner is com- 
pletely enclosed in an insulated steel jacket which has a 
heavy green enamel finish baked on. It has an indirect 
water heater which will provide large quantities of hot 
water for laundry, bath and kitchen day and night, summer 
and winter at very low cost. 

The Crane Conservoil Burner is concealed beneath the 
jacket. 



Fin-Type Oil Burning Boiler 




w 





Luxurious heat — a comfortable, healthful home this 
winter and for many winters to come, without lifting 
your finger — this is possible with the Crane Fin- 
Type Boiler. 

The Fin-Type is engineered for efficient and econom- 
ical burning of oil. The extra long flues, cast with 
myriad of fins, absorb more heat from the gases— 
assure a high boiler efficiency. 

All sections of the Fin-Type Boiler are machine-ground, assuring a 
close, tight fit. This prevents escape of gases and the infiltration of 
air. The back section is curved for added strength. 

The handsome metal jacket has a heavy corrugated asbestos insulation 
keeping the heat inside — assuring a boiler so cool you can keep your 
hand against it at any time. A built in indirect water heater may be 
had with the boiler, which supplies ample quantities of hot water at 
very low cost. This heater may be used summer or winter and is an 
easy solution to the problem of hot water for laundry, bath and 
kitchen.

CRANE GAS FIRED BOILERS 



Crane Basmor Boiler 

The Crane Basmor Boiler meets every requirement of 
house heating with either manufactured or natural 
gas. Safe and trouble-free, its operation is completely 
automatic, convenient and economical. Crane Basmor 
controls are designed to protect against every emer- 
gency—even against the failure of the controls them- 
selves. High efficiency is attained through Crane Bas- 
mor staggered fin construction by which hot gases 
are thrown backward and forward and sidewise, set- 
ting up a swirling or spiral motion that scrubs every 
square inch of heat-absorbing surface. There are three 
models in Crane Basmor Boilers — Series xo 9 Series x$ 
and Series 40 — covering a wide range of heating 
demands. 




TO MAKE YOUR PRESENT SYSTEM AUTOMATIC 

Conservoil Burner Autocoal Stoker 



The Conservoil Burner 
presents the latest de- 
velopment in the 
simple, efficient burn- 
ing of oil. A specially 
designed fan and hous- 
ing keep the air mov- 
ing at a steady rate of 
flow and the Conservoil 
Burner thus assures 
quiet, steady action. 
The "floating flame" burns in complete suspension, giving 
clean operation. The Conservoil presents a host of other de- 
sirable features. For example, the blower and air control 
housing are cast as a single unit to assure perfect alignment 
and quick, easy interchangeability of parts. Then, too, the 
design of the burner is extremely simple with only one moving 
part. The Conservoil is precision made throughout, smartly 
and attractively finished. 





The Autocoal Stoker will give you the luxury of comfort, 
convenience, and an even temperature day and night, with 
freedom from work or worry. 

The Autocoal Stoker, by proper combustion, obtains more 
heat units from the fuel; handles smaller sizes and cheaper 
grades efficiently; and by keeping temperature even, saves 
much fuel which would otherwise be wasted in the form 
of gases and smoke up the chimney. 

Because of the principle of forced under-feed firing, com- 
bustion is so nearly complete that the smoke nuisance is 
eliminated, and there is no loose ash. 

Because of the great convenience of stoker firing and the 
money that can be saved on the fuel bills the Autocoal is 
recommended for every coal burning installation. 



23 



CRANE CONVECTORS 

Heating Units which conform to modern demands 
of interior decorative treatment — attractive in 
appearance, out of the way, yet very efficient. 





The most modern, efficient and convenient form of heating is 
with the NEW Crane Convectors. Concealed in the wall 
where they are out of the way, Crane Convectors deliver a 
constant current of heated air into the room, removing the 
cold air at the same time. 

The standard Crane Convector will fit in with any decorative 
treatment. It has a simple stamped grille that is both neat 
and attractive. 



Crane Convectors are also made with removable grille either 
of stamped steel or moulded plastic. Plastic grille may be had 
in a variety of beautiful colors. 

The heating element is of cast iron with a multitude of fins, 
integrally cast. Can be had for steam, vapor, vacuum or hot 
water systems. Heating elements are 6 inches high and may 
be had in any length from 13 to 18 inches to 100 inches in steps 
of 1 y 2 inches. Will fit into any size room or available wall 
space. These are responsible for the heating efficiency of the 
whole unit. 



CRANE RADIATORS 



Crane Radiators assure warmth and comfort from heat deliver- 
ed by the boiler. Compact and symmetrical, they are designed 
for beauty and efficiency and are quickly and easily cleaned. 
The Crane Radiator assembly method assures tight joints, 




greater economy of space and increased strength. It means 
longer life and satisfactory service because the tube sections 
are permanently joined. Made in 2., 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 tube styles 
in a wide variety of heights suitable in any installation. 



In designing Crane cast iron radiators, con- 
sideration was given to the shape of the 
tubes to provide greater heating surface 
and increase radiation. Sufficient space was 
allowed between the tubes to make clean- 
ing easy. The slim columns and clean 
vertical lines present a well-proportioned 
symmetry. 

Crane direct radiators are made in many 
styles and sizes — low ones to go under 
windows, wall and ceiling radiators, spe- 
cial space-saving types for bathrooms, even 
radiators without legs, if desired. They 
range from 14 to 38 inches in height and 
are made two, three, four, five, six or 
seven tubes wide.

GAS and ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS 




<^ 



's© X>\\ 




Hot water — piping hot — all you want any 
time night or day— no delay — just turn the 
faucet— that is a convenience made possible 
by a Crane Water Heater — either gas or 
electric. 



Steaming hot water helps in dishwashing, 
aids in the laundry, encourages the habit of 
cleanliness with the children. An abundant 
supply saves the annoyance of finding the 
water running cold just when it is needed 
most. And when sickness strikes, having hot water available, even 
in the dead of night is a blessing. A hot shower instantly ready is a 
luxury made possible with a Crane Water Heater. 

Fortunately, the luxury of such hot water service is economical. 
Crane Water Heaters are more careful of gas or electric bills than 
you could be. The gas shuts off the instant the water reaches the 
exact degree determined. It turns on the split-second it is needed. 
The operation is thrifty, as only a fully automatic, fully insulated 
water heater could be. 

There are styles, prices, and sizes of Crane Water Heaters for every 
home. Get complete information about them before you decide. 





WARLO WATER 

CONDITIONING 

No matter what its source — municipal, private 
well, river, lake, spring or cistern — several things 
may be wrong with the water you use. It may be 
discolored, it may have a disagreeable taste or 
odor, it may be hard, corrosive or actually dirty. 
In TODAY'S home, people have automatic heat — 
they have conditioned air — but 
the problem of water and its 
quality is equally important. 

A few facts worth considering 

are really astonishing: The 
water used by the average home owner shortens the life of 
clothes, increases the cost of heating, harms the complex- 
ion and even makes vegetables tough and less appetizing. 

We will make water analyses without obligation and 
recommendations will be cheerfully given, Without 
definite knowledge of your water supply, you may 
needlessly pay for that mistake for years. 

Whatever your problem there is a Warlo unit to fit your 
needs. All are simple to operate and require a minimum 
of attention. Be sure to consider well this added con- 
venience that actually pays for itself.

ALL THE WATER YOU NEED 



A Plentiful Supply of Water 

whether Your Home 

is in Town Suburb 

or Country 





TJUNNING water - 
-^ lots of it, at the turn 
of a faucet — is a conven- 
ience now considered a 
necessity to modern 
civilization. No matter 
where you are - - w^hat 
your source of supply — spring or lake, deep well 
or river — a Crane running w r ater system will as- 
sure you ample quantities and bring to you all 
those conveniences running water can give. In 
rural communities, on farms and in small towns, 
in summer cottages and filling stations, or resorts, 
the necessity of running water is obvious — a 



necessity filled automatically and economically 
by a Crane pump. 

Just as important is the adaptation of Crane pumps 
to homes in larger communities already supplied 
with a water system. Here, particularly during 
the summer months, pressure often falls, and 
water is difficult to obtain, particularly above 
the first floor. A Crane booster pump in the base- 
ment will not only provide increased quantities 
of water, but will assure adequate supplies 
throughout the house on all floors. This service 
is particularly important in homes of more than 
one story and in new communities where large- 
scale building has overtaxed the water supplv. 




CRANE DEEP 
WELL PUMPS 

Crane Deep Well Pumps 
assure year-round water 
supply when the source is 
a deep well. Newly de- 
signed and ruggedly built 
Crane Deep Well Pumps 
offer the maximum in ser- 
vice as well as in low cost 
operation. 

D~60 Pumps and Water 
Systems pump 170 to 550 
gallons per hour. 

D-9 Pumps and Water 
Systems pump 2 30 to 980 
gallons per hour. 



CRANE SHALLOW WELL PUMPS 

A new pump of modern design, quiet in ® 
action possessing high efficiency. 
Models K-250 and K-375 Pumps and Water 
Systems for service requiring up to 3 50 
gallons per hour at 40 pounds pressure. 





Models SC-25 and SC-30 designed for heavy- 
duty service, requiring a capacity of 330 
gallons per hour at 7 5 pounds pressure. 

Models S-40 and S-50 Pumps and Water 
Systems for service requiring a pumping 
capacity up to 5 50 gallons per hour at "I 
pounds pressure.

be answered. In this newly published book all types of heating systems are 
discussed and information given that will enable you to make up your 
mind as to the one best suited to your needs. See the Crane Branch or address

Jkm DONLEY DEVICES 

make your home more 
convenient and comfortable 



A dream home is visioned as comfortable, live- 
able and suited to the owner's needs. You want 
those qualities at a cost within your means. You 
want your home cozy and convenient — a pleasure 
for years to come. Then for maximum happiness, 
plan to simplify the necessary household duties, 
eliminate the needless tasks and save countless 
steps. Such planning changes homemaking from a 
chore to a joy. The time and energy thus saved 
are then available for the pursuit of happiness 
and a more comfortable living. 



Donley Devices help you realize these aims 
economically. Donley fireplace furnishings and 
equipment insure a charming, cheery, successful 
fireplace — a gathering place for the family — an 
ideal place for friends to meet. The many Donley 
convenience items are like extra servants in your 
home — built-in servants that simplify the duties 
and save time. 

Donley Devices help make life worth living, 
for in truth, "Donley Devices complete the 
home". These home friends are described and 
illustrated on the following pages.

A Successful Fireplace 



The test of a successful fireplace lies in how much 
the owner is tempted to use it. Properly equipped 
and properly built, it is a source of constant delight 
— a cheery gathering place for congenial groups, 
the center of the family circle. In some homes, how- 
ever, the fireplace stands cold and unfrequented 
most of the time, usually a sign that there is some- 
thing wrong with it. Perhaps it smokes — perhaps it 
radiates little heat for the fuel consumed — perhaps 
it lacks facilities for ash removal, making that task 
a nuisance. 

The enjoyment of the finished fireplace is so impor- 
tant, and correcting a faultily built fireplace is so 
expensive, that it pays to take pains with the origi- 
nal construction. The Donley Brothers Company 
has devoted much research and experimentation to 
developing the principles of successful fireplace 
construction and has made this information avail- 
able to everyone. Abbreviated directions and prin- 



ciples of construction are given on the next two 
pages of this book and on the instruction sheet 
attached to each fireplace damper. 

The complete story and full information is pre- 
sented in the "Donley Book of Successful Fire- 
places." It will be sent promptly upon request and 
is well worth its moderate cost of 25c (in Canada 
35c). In addition to a complete explanation of prin- 
ciples, it contains 
more than 200 pic- 
tures of attractive 
fireplaces and a 
history of fireplace 
development. This 
book also includes 
pages of suggested 
Mantel designs, as 
well as chapters on 
Dutch Ovens and 
outdoor fireplaces.

How to Build 
A Successful Fireplace 



Home owners who decide 
on a fireplace want a free- 
burning, warmth-producing 
and non-smoking fireplace. 
Such a fireplace costs no 
more than one incorrectly 
built, yet gives a great deal 
more enjoyment. A success- 
ful fireplace is one that is 
correctly built. It is assured 
by following the construc- 
tion principles given here. 

The drawings on the next 
page, together with the table 
of dimensions, are valuable 
in building a successful fire- 
place. Detailed dimensions 
are given for 12 typical sizes 
of fireplaces. These details 
represent the results of 
years of experience. If these 
directions are followed com- 
plete satisfaction is assured.

ernment pamphlet. 



Size of Fireplace Opening 

should be appropriate to 

width of wall and size of 

room. Good appearance prompts a wider opening 

if fireplace is located on the long wall of room. 

One rule is that there be 5 sq. in. of opening for 

each sq. ft. of floor area. 

If flue is already built, the opening nmst conform 
to flue size. See table of dimensions on page 7. 
Also see table and comments on page 14. 

Smoke Shelf as shown in the diagram arrests down 
draft and with valve plate of damper, as shown, 
keeps smoke from blowing into the room. 

The Damper should be set with the turned-up 
flange against the front wall and the rear flange 
resting on the smoke shelf. The opening of damper 
should not be directly under the flue but forward 
of it. Damper should be 3 to 9" above the fireplace 
opening. 

The Smoke Chamber is just above the damper, its 
sides sloping equally at the rate of about 7" to each 
foot in height. Smooth, unobstructed walls are best. 

A Separate Flue, with size of opening not less than 



1/12 the area of the fireplace opening, should be 
provided for each fireplace. The flue should start 
at the top of the smoke chamber, directly over the 
center of it, and rise to a height of not less than 
three feet above the highest point of the roof. If it 
is necessary to slant the flue to bring it to its de- 
sired place in the chimney stack, the slope should 
not exceed eight inches per foot of rise. 

Areas of Flue Sections. The outside dimensions for 
standard terra cotta flue linings most used in fire- 
place work have inside areas as follows: 8%"x8y2" 
= 52.56 square inches; 8y 2 "xl3" = 80.50 square 
inches; 13"xl3" = 126.56 square inches; 8y 2 "xl8" = 
109.86 square inches; 13"xl8" = 182.84 square 
inches; 18"xl8" = 248.06 square inches.

Illustrating heat radiation from fireplace having properly 
designed side and rear walls 



Hearth Shape should be as shown in the plan, its 
sides going straight back for about 4", then nar- 
rowed at the rate of 5" for each foot. The impor- 
tance of this shape is shown in the diagram above 
which indicates how heat radiated against the walls 
is reflected out into the room instead of wasted up 
the chimney. 

Rear Wall should be plumb for from 14 to 16", then 
sloped forward to form smoke shelf and support 
the damper. This shape deflects heat forward into 
the room; smoke and gases pass through the 
damper.

Fireplace Details and 

Dimensions 

Different features of a fireplace bear 
a close relationship to each other so 
that a disproportion between parts 
may result in an unsatisfactory fire- 
place. The drawings at the left show 
an elevation, plan and cross-sec- 
tional view of a correctly designed 
fireplace and a table of dimensions. 
The letters at the top of the columns 
in the table refer to the same letters 
in the drawings above. Thus if is 
easy to find all dimensions for any 
of the 12 typical sizes by using the 
table and drawings together. Where 
individual conditions necessitate 
changes, the experience and advice 
of Donley engineers is available for 
the asking. 

The starting point of all calcula- 
tions is the width of fireplace open- 
ing when finished. When this has 
been decided, locate that width in 
the first column of the table below. 
The next column gives an appro- 
priate height. Following to the right 
are the other finished dimensions. 

By looking at the plan, the reader 
will discover that the visible fire- 
place is encased in walls of rough 
brickwork. The proper dimensions 
for the rough brickwork and cor- 
rect flue size are indicated in the 
second division of the table. In 
other parts of the table are listed 
the equipment to be used. Blank 
spaces have been left where choice 
is a matter of personal taste. 

NOTES 
A — The back flange of the damper must be 
protected from intense heat by being fully 
supported by the back wall masonry. Damper 
should not be built in solidly at the ends. It 
should be left free to expand, as shown in the 
front elevation view. 

B — The drawing indicates thickness of brick 
fireplace front as four inches. No definite di- 
mension can be given for this because the 
various materials used, such as marble, stone, 
tile, etc., have various thicknesses. 
C — These hollow spaces should be filled to 
form solid backing. If desirable to include a 
fireplace flue in either space, outside dimen- 
sions should be increased. 

D — A good way to build a smoke chamber is 
to erect a wooden form consisting of two 
sloping boards at the sides, held apart by 
spreaders at the top and bottom and nailed 
upward into cleats as shown. Letters H, M, 
J, etc., correspond to letters on elevation 
above. Form boards should have the same 
width as flue lining. For those who desire it, 
we make a steel smoke chamber. 
The sectional view above shows a rotary con- 
trol type of damper. On page 8 both rotary 
and poker control dampers are illustrated.

Donley Fireplace Dampers 



Because the throat is important in the operation of 
the fireplace, it is essential that a carefully de- 
signed, thoroughly tested Donley Damper be used. 

The Donley Damper provides efficient draft control 
and a smooth, correctly proportioned throat pas- 
sage for smoke and fumes. Installed according to 
directions, it promotes correct construction of other 
details of the fireplace. 

Narrow Throat. The Donley Damper has a narrow 
throat which offers two important advantages. 
With damper correctly placed against the fireplace 
front, there is room for the backwall to slope for- 
ward enough to reflect maximum heat into the 
room. Also this narrow throat enables the damper 
to be set, not under the flue, but forward of it so 
that down draft is pocketed on the smoke shelf 
back of the uplifted valve plate. 

Narrow Front Flange. Notice the strong, narrow 
front flange on the Donley Damper. This permits 
the correct forward position of the damper without 
fitting between masonry courses — a particular ad- 
vantage where the opening is arched or where fac- 
ing material is stone, marble or tile. 

Choice of Operating Device. The large illustration 
above is that of the Donley Rotary Gontrol Damper, 
opened or closed by turning a polished knob at the 
front of the fireplace. As regularly supplied, this 
knob is at the center. The damper is also made 
with the knob located at right of the center. Poker 
and chain control dampers are described at right. 

Made of Cast Iron. The Donley Damper is made from 

rust-resisting, 
high grade 
cast iron, 
good for years 
of service, 
providing de- 
pendable 
draft control 
and maximum 
heat with a 
minimum of 
fuel required. 





Poker Gontrol 

A ring projects downward from the center of this 
Donley Damper. The damper is opened by pulling 
forward on a poker hooked into this ring. To close, 
lift slightly and push back. This control device is 
less conspicuous, though less convenient than the 
rotary control, shown above. 




Chain Control 

This Donley Dome Damper has the valve 
plate pivoted in the center. It is opened 
and closed by pulling one of the two 
chains that hang at the left. Manufac- 
tured to meet an occasional demand, this damper 
is made in three popular sizes (see table on next 
page). 

Completely Assembled and Crated 




Every Donley Damper comes fully assembled 
(which saves time), and in a crate that protects 



THE DONLEY BROTHERS CO. 



against breakage. Attached to the crate is a copy 
of the Donley Plan Sheet of Fireplace Construction, 
giving full details, diagrams and cautions to help in 
building a successful fireplace.

quired. This door, located at 
floor level, should be at least 
large enough to admit the av- 
erage shovel. 

Donley Ashpit Doors in sizes 
10"xl2" and larger are particularly fitted to this 
use — smaller sizes are generally used for flue clean- 
out doors at the base of chimneys. Doors 7x9 to 
12x15 are provided with special anchors which 
fasten the frame securely to the masonry. All sizes 
are neat in appearance, tight fitting and have pro- 
vision for anchoring in the masonry.

the Donley Crane and this or- 
namental door of authentic 
design. Even when not used 
as a Dutch oven for baking, 



the space makes a convenient recess for firewood. 
Or for effect, this door serves as a more ornamental 
ashpit clean-out door. Made of highest grade cast 
iron with hinges at left (made with hinges on right 
on special order). The Dutch Oven Door is regu- 
larly finished in art black, but is also available in a 
plated antique brass finish. Size overall — 15"xl8"

Cantilever Hearth Assembly 




The Cantilever Hearth Assembly makes it easy for 
the mason to construct a substantial fire-safe hearth 
slab of concrete, supported entirely by the chimney 
masonry. Finished hearth surface of tile, brick, etc~, 
is applied over this slab as usual. This Cantilever 
method of construction prevents hearth cracks 
which may occur due to uneven settling where sup- 
port is partly by floor timbers and partly by chim- 
ney masonry. 

The assembly consists of corrugated steel sheets 
which are laid on top of the ashpit wall according 
to sketches below 7 , and reinforcing rods provided 
with self-supporting offset "feet" which hold them 
at proper height to reinforce the slab. Concrete is 
poured over the pans to the required thickness of 
3% inches.

Donley Heatsaver Fireplace 

Patent No. 2151016 

The Donley Heatsaver Fireplace is a distinct im- 
provement in fireplace usefulness and satisfaction. 
It supplements the radiant heat from the open 
flames with a generous amount of circulating warm 
air that reaches every corner of the room. With the 
use of the Heatsaver, the fireplace becomes a real 
heating plant, while retaining every feature of 
homey coziness and good cheer. 

The Donley Heatsaver unit is built along the lines 
of warm air furnace, having a heating chamber sur- 
rounding the fire. With a fire burning in the grate, 
air from the room flows into the heating chamber, 
becomes heated, then Hows out into the room, warm 
and satisfying. Not only do you have the pleasant 
glow of an open fire but the luxury of comfortable 
warmth as well. 

Insures Correct Construction — The Heatsaver has 
the added advantage of minimizing the risk of an 
unsatisfactory fireplace. It is complete, including 
the damper — a correctly proportioned metal unit, 
which protects the home owner from the errors of 
inexperienced workmen. The inside of the fireplace 
is already accurately built. With Heatsaver cor- 
rectly installed, the home owner can be sure of 
having a successful fireplace. 

As a Main Heating Plant — A cottage 
needs no other heating plant than 
this Donley Heatsaver Fireplace. The 
small investment, together with the 
cheerfulness of a crackling fire, has 
induced many owners to specify a Donley Heatsaver 
when the total heating load was within the Heat- 
saver range of from 12,900 B.t.u.'s to 39,300 B.t.u.'s 
per hour. 




M.-&(kj&ite 




As an Auxiliary — In the larger home 
with central heating plant the Donley 
Heatsaver, as an auxiliary source of 
heat, carries the heating load for chilly 
days in spring and fall. At such times 
it is hardly necessary to build a fire in the furnace. 
The Heatsaver Fireplace is inexpensive to operate 
and effectively takes the chill from the house. For 
the larger homes in mild climates, no furnace is re- 
quired if Donley Heatsaver Fireplaces are provided. 

A Cabin Heating Plant — For cabins 
and summer cottages, use a Heatsaver 
Hf as the sole source of heat. On chilly 
evenings you will appreciate its 
ruddy warmth and friendliness. The heating capac- 
ity of this engineered Heatsaver Fireplace will sur- 
prise you. 

For Churches and Clubs — Many 
times it is desired to warm only one 
or two rooms in a church or club 
building. A committee meeting, or- 
ganization or board of directors meet- 
ing is often called for a time when 
the rest of the building is not in use. Firing the 
boiler on the main heating plant is entirely unnec- 
essary if a Heatsaver Fireplace is available. This 
fireplace easily heats the one or two rooms in an 
economical way. At the same time its friendly, 
merry fire makes the gathering a cheerful one. 




... 




1— Large warm air chamber. 2 — Warm air ducts 
equalize the heat. 3 — Heavy, lasting smoke shelf.

6— Large area, cool air inlet gives freedom in plac- 
ing of intake grilles.

Installing The Heatsaver Fireplace 



Heating Only One Room 



Many installations of the Heatsaver 
Fireplace are designed for heating 
only one room — the room in which 
the fireplace is located. The draw- 
ing at the left shows the unit used 
on this type of installation. The 
outer casing of the unit is of bright, 
galvanized steel. Openings are eas- 
ily cut in this casing for attaching 
two round furnace pipes leading to 
the warm air outlet grilles. Grilles 
may be on the front face of a fire- 
place that does not project into the 
room or at the sides of a fireplace 
that projects out from the wall. The 
view below shows such an installa- 
tion. When desired, the unit is built 
with a center outlet below the mantle, as shown in the column at 
the left. While perfectly satisfactory, this center grille is not essen- 
tial when heating only one room. 

Number of Warm Air Outlets — Regardless of the number of rooms 
to be heated, even when used for heating only one room, be sure to 
provide sufficient outlets from the Heatsaver. Heat is wasted if air 
cannot flow freely through the heating chamber. For maximum 
heat from your Heatsaver Fireplace, follow the directions for num- 
ber and size of outlets as shown in table on page 15. 

Note — Outlets need not conform to those illustrated installations as 
regards location. The flexibility of the installation is one of the 
many advantages of the Heatsaver Fireplace. 




Heating More 
Than One Room 

Where the Heatsaver Fireplace is 
used to heat two or more rooms, we 
recommend the type of casing 
shown above, having a center outlet 
at the fireplace front in addition to 
the two upper outlets. This center 
outlet delivers warm circulating 
air in the fireplace room in addition 
to the heat radiating from the fire. 
The outlets from the upper part of 
the unit are directed to other 
rooms, either adjoining or on the 
floor above.

Heat Output 



The amount of heat obtained from any size Heatsaver is unusually great 
(see table of heat output in B.t.u. 's below). There are four main reasons 
for this extra volume of heat. 

First, the Heatsaver makes use of the heated surface above the fire as 
well as the surfaces surrounding the fire. Illustration at the right shows 
the area in square inches of heating surface in the 34-inch unit. For 

other sizes see table below. 

Second, special economizer tubes take air 
from the hottest areas and pass it through 
the smoke chamber where it picks up addi- 
tional heat. 

Third, there are heat radiating fins on the 
heating surfaces. These fins (see sketch) act 
as added radiating surfaces. Another func- 
tion of the fins is reinforcing the heating 
surfaces for added strength and long life. 





This indicates amount of heating surface 
above and below the smoke shelf. 



Rear view with casing removed 
showing convection sheets. 



Fourth, the ingenious convection sheets (see 
illustration at left) guide the moving air so 
that it passes directly over the heated sur- 
faces. These sheets keep all the air in mo- 
tion, divert the warm air from the outer cas- 
ing and prevent pocketing of heated air. The convection sheets and streamlined 
air flow of Heatsaver design remove all the available heat from the heating 
surfaces and transfer it to the room where it produces comfort. Another advan- 
tage of the non-pocketing feature of Heatsavers is that it eliminates the need 
for an insulating blanket.

Sturdy Construction 

The Heatsaver is built to give a life- 
time of dependable service and satisfac- 
tory performance. Walls of the fire 
chamber are of steel, ^ inch thick. The 
smoke shelf, which takes the most 

abuse, is %-inch thick steel. Other structural parts are of 12-gauge steel, rein- 
forced with steel angles, and outer casing is 26-gauge galvanized steel. 

All joints and fastenings of the Heatsaver are electric arc-welded for maximum 
strength.

Choosing The Size of Unit 



To assist in selecting an appropriate size of Heat- 
saver Fireplace, we give in the table at the right our 
recommendations for a number of typical rooms. 

These suggestions are based principally on appear- 
ance. Other factors to be considered are: 

Unusual height of rooms. 

Part of heat directed to other rooms. 

Adjoining rooms open. 

Used as main source of heat or for auxiliary heat. 

Glimatic conditions. 

Type of building construction. 

Fuel to be used. 

Rate of fuel consumption. 

Size flue available.

ent factors and we will make recommendations. 



Location of Gold Air Inlets 




These drawings show the variety of 
possible locations for cold air inlets. 
Some locations are visible in the views 
of actual installations. The only strict 
requirement for cold air inlets is that 
they allow sufficient air to enter the 
unit. Greatest efficiency is attained 
only when the inlets and outlets are 
of ample size. 



Directions for Installing the Heatsaver Unit 




SECTION AA" 



— ©- 



PLAN 



FRONT LIME OF HEABTH 



zr 



Floor plan must first be determined in accordance 
with projection of fireplace into the room, also the 
presence of adjoining flues, both factors influencing 
the arrangement of cold air inlets. Eight suggested 
floor plans are shown above. 

Diagram of rough masonry should be carefully 
studied in connection with table of rough masonry 
dimensions for various sizes of unit. Heatsaver is 
backed into the rough masonry into position indi- 
cated by dotted line. Front of chimney rests on a 
steel angle, set about one inch higher than the size 
of Heatsaver used. The Donley Brothers Company 
desires to help the owner or craftsman obtain the 
most satisfactory installation of the Heatsaver Fire- 
place. In describing a problem be sure to include 
complete detailed information and a statement of 
your desires.

Method of Attaching to Flue 

To avoid mortar dropping inside the Heatsaver, it 
may be placed in recess after masonry is roughed 
in. Cut the openings in the casing for warm air 
outlets before the unit is set. 

The Heatsaver is then set in masonry recess with 
flange of collar resting in flue opening and directly 
under the flue. The upper side of the flange of col- 
lar is buttered with mortar, then pushed up as 
shown and mortar filled in below the flange to seal 
the connection.

At the left is a drawing 
showing various positions 
and directions of warm 
air outlet pipes. 

Pipes should be round. 
The required capacity is 
secured more easily with 
round pipes. Elbows and 
angles are made more 
easily. Rectangular ducts 
with required pipe area 
for most installations 
will not fit the top of the 
Heatsaver, due to limi- 
tations enforced by the 
angle supporting the 
chimney masonry. 
If necessary to use rec- 
tangular pipe in meeting 
some special condition, 




To join pipe to casing, snip 
narrow leaves around pipe 
as shown. Bend alternate 
leaves at right angle and 
place against casing. Then 
bend leaves passing through 
casing in the same manner. 
Finish with collar of asbes- 
tos fabric and cement. 



we recommend that round pipe be run from the 
Heatsaver to a point where it is necessary to 
change. The change can be made to rectangular 
pipe by means of a foot piece. Warm air passages 
may be formed with masonry or other incom- 
bustible material, but bright metal ducts are more 
efficient. 

If the center warm air outlet is used, notice that 
although the outlet of unit as shown is 12" high, the 
grille to be used is only 6" high. This permits a 
choice of elevation to fit different mantel designs. 



Donley Cabinet Heatsaver Fireplace 



Here is a fireplace that comes to you complete, 
needing only to be set on the hearth and connected 
to the flue to afford a practical, comfortable, at- 
tractive heating unit in which the glow of the open 
fire is supplemented by a flow of heated air. 

The Donley Cabinet Fireplace is a self-contained 
Heatsaver Unit, with its outer shell attractively 
lacquered — a harmonious and welcome addition to 
living room, boudoir, or any part of your premises. 
Convection sheets in the warm air chamber keep 
the outer surface relatively cool, so that there is no 
danger in touching it or placing it in proximity to 
your wall, book shelves or other furniture. While 
tastefully finished, you may wish to redecorate it at 
some time in harmony with your particular decora- 
tive scheme and this is perfectly feasible. 

Installation is simplicity itself. The Donley Brothers 
Company offers a portable hearth, on which the 
Cabinet Fireplace rests, or you may choose to con- 
struct a more permanent hearth. The other require- 
ment is a flue to which the Cabinet Fireplace may 
be connected by means of an extension collar at 
the back. If a masonry chimney is lacking, a metal 
chimney affords a simple solution. 

Donley Cabinet Fireplaces are made in two sizes, 
with 26-inch and 34-inch opening, respectively. The 
latter is a popular size for living rooms, club rooms 
and offices. The former fits convenientlv into small- 




er rooms. Minimum flue size required is 8 1 / 2 x8 1 /2 
for No. 26 and 8y 2 xl3 for No. 34. 
If you have a cold room, a Cabinet Fireplace will 
convert it from mere useless space into a charming 
and welcome addition to your establishment. Many 
older homes have rooms that were originally 
heated by stoves. The flue remains, and a Cabinet 
Fireplace imparts a warmth and cheerfulness hith- 
erto unknown. 

Write for full details about the Cabinet Fireplace 
and learn how easily you can have all the cheer of 
an efficient, modern, attractive heating unit.

Burns Coal or Wood 



The Donley Fire Basket 



17 



i j 1 f 



SIMPLE, graceful and correctly designed, the Don- 
ley Fireplace Basket is sturdy enough to stand hard 
usage for many years. It is a product of the Donley 
policy of coordinating every feature of the fireplace 
with every other part. The basket is narrow at the 
back to coincide with the side wall angle of a prop- 
erly designed fireplace. 

Made of the best quality stove plate cast iron, this 
basket will not warp under uneven distribution of 
heat. The back legs are provided with rollers which 
make it easy to move the basket on the hearth. 

A highly advantageous feature is the design of the 
fire basket ends. These are removable, making it 
possible to burn wood of any length that will fit the 
fireplace. In many homes the wish to burn coal and 
wood alternately is complicated by the nuisance of 
removing the whole basket. With a Donley Basket, 
simply lift out the ends and the basket is ready for 
burning logs. Careful design and construction avoid 
possibility that these ends will warp or fall out. 
There is no dump bottom to become dislodged. The 
graceful lines of the Donley Fire Basket avoid 
eccentricities and harmonize with any interior. 




This illustration 
shows how the 
ends of the Don- 
ley Fire Basket 
can be removed 
for burning logs 
longer than the 
basket itself. 
These ends are 
easy to remove or 
to set in place.

Donley Log Rests 




For the fireplace where only wood is burned, Don- 
ley Log Rests are fuel holders of long life and re- 
sistance to heat. One pair is generally sufficient for 
a fireplace although three or four are sometimes 
used in wide fireplaces with short logs. When used 
with andirons, the andiron supports slide under the 
log rests as shown in illustration at the left. In out- 
door fireplaces, log rests handily support a grid or 
grille for cooking. Made in two lengths, 16" and 
20", weighing respectively 41 and 48 pounds. Sup- 
porting surface is 5%* high and 4%" wide.

signed to gratify a variety of tastes and co-ordinate

Build An Outdoor Fireplace 




Th e rapidly 
growing popu- 
larity of outdoor 
cooking has in- 
tensified the in- 
terest in outdoor 
fireplaces. Don- 
ley Brothers 
show here equip- 
ment for such 
fireplaces and a 
few of the popular designs. More information and 
other designs are contained in the book "Successful 
Outdoor Fireplaces," sent for 10c in coin or stamps. 

Outdoor fireplaces are divided into three distinct 
types. One resembles the indoor fireplace but has 
a shorter chimney (except when built beside the 
house or garage). Its purpose is mainly for warmth 
and cheer, any cooking is done with forks as at a 
wiener roast. The second type is built on the princi- 
ple of an old fashioned cook stove. There is also a 
newer version combining the advantage of both. It 
is shown on the next page as the all-purpose design, 
unit No. 70. 

In addition to the masonry, the cooking type of fire- 
place requires certain metal equipment. These 
metal assemblies are standardized to popular sizes 
and simplify masonry construction. In different 
combinations they meet a wide variety of fireplace 
designs. Artistic treatment is often combined with 
utility features, some masonry designs being quite 
elaborate, but still useful and permanent. 

Proper Support Is Im- 
portant. In frostless cli- 
mates, a shallow founda- 
tion is enough. But 
where frost is a factor, 
two alternatives are pos- 
3 sible. Masonry may go 
below the frost line, or 
a small fireplace may be supported on a reinforced 
concrete slab, of dimensions somewhat larger than 
the area of the structure. Large, heavy structures 
should have foundations that extend below the frost 
line. 



Unit No. 10 is 
used in building 
this simple form 
of outdoor fire- 
place. Grates on 
two levels, one 
above the other 
support fire and 
utensils. Three 
sizes available, 
see table on page 
23. 






Unit No. 20 is 

made in two 
styles, No. 20-A 
with one door and 
No. 20-B with two 
doors. At the right 
is the basic unit. 
Drawings below 
show some of the 
variations possi- 
ble, and construc- 
tion details.

Design No. 20-A 








Drawing above shows 
how the main idea can 
be expanded to provide 
as manu as four cooking 
areas with only one 
chimney. 



No. 30 Unit. This charcoal 
stove type unit can be used 
either in public parks or at 
home. Especially adapted for 
park use, since all parts are 
securely fastened in place, pre- 
venting pilfering. May be used 
as shown in view at the left 
for private use, or anchored 
as shown in the installation 
views below. Door and grates 
are cast iron, other parts of 
steel. Grid at top is made of 
iV rod, welded construction. 
Two-thirds of this grid is hinged to allow access 
to fire chamber. Height 24", size at the top 14y 2 " 
wide and 20%" long. Shipping weight 66 pounds/

Unit No. 40. View at the left 
shows a simple installation of 
the Donley Duplex Steak Grill. 
Masonry recess is 12" wide, 20" 
deep and 24" to 30" high. At the 
right, Grill is shown combined 
with other units. Illustration 
above shows sturdy baskets 
and the frames which are built 



into the masonry. No. 40 Unit also includes a removable top 
grate which permits other cooking uses. Grill cooks both 
sides of steak or other meat at the same time. Users say a 
steak cooks in three or four minutes. 

Unit No. 60. The Dutch Oven is included in a fireplace for 
baking or reheating food. A charcoal fire on the lower grate 
or hot coals from the main fire are used for heat. A larger and 
separate flue is necessary if other fuel is used. Drawing at the 
right above, shows a Unit No. 60 Dutch Oven in a fireplace 
combining Units No. 20-B and No. 40. 

All-Purpose Design 

Unit No. 70. The two purpose design shown at the right com- 
bines cooking facilities and warmth in one fireplace. The up- 
per part like an indoor fireplace radiates heat. The lower 
part is the cooking grill, generally depending on charcoal for 

fuel to avoid 




Portable Duplex Steak Grill 




smoke. 

When used for a 

cheerful blaze, 

the grates at the 

hearth level are 

pushed to the 

rear, to support 

the fuel and afford some additional draft. When used for 

cooking, these upper grates are pulled forward to support 

cooking operations, while the charcoal fire, or hot embers, 

are supported by the grate six inches below. The space below 

is for ashes. 

The table below tells what equipment is included in each unit.

Other cooking, making coffee, etc., can be 
done on top of the fires at the same time.

Donley Package Receiver 

For Safer Deliveries . . . Fewer Interruptions 




Every modern home should have a Donley Package 
Receiver installed in an outside wall of the kitchen 
or entry. This insulated steel receptacle received 
deliveries of packages, bread, milk, newspapers, 
etc., and holds them safely until removed. It cares 
for deliveries when no one is at home or when the 
occupants are busy at other tasks. This package 
receiver stops doorstep deliveries, stops losses from 
prowling cats, dogs and petty thieves, and keeps 
strange men out of the house. 

When packages are placed in the receiver and outer 
door is closed, it locks automatically. When the in- 
side door is opened, the outside door is automatic- 
ally unlocked, ready for the next delivery. This 
automatic feature can be disconnected at will. It is 

standard equip- 
ment on Nos. 1 
and 2, and is 
omitted on Nos. 
3 and 4. 

The insulated 
and ventilated 
features of the 
Donley Package 
Receiver protect 




the contents from excessive cold in winter or heat 
in summer. The package receiver is complete in 
itself, nothing else to buy, no upkeep expense and 
is approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute. 
Because it is in use every day, its installation in new 
or old homes increases their salability. It is inex- 
pensive, easily installed and gives long, trouble-free 
service. The brass and steel construction (no break- 
able cast iron) insures free swinging doors at all 
times, a condition not possible with wood or other 
materials that are sensitive to changes of weather.

insulating board. The steel inner door has four long 
horizontal slits to provide ventilation. Both doors 
have convenient catches of rust-proof brass and 
strong concealed hinges with brass bushings.

Each receiver is thoroughly painted with a high 
grade priming coat while the locks and catches are 
made of brass or rust-proofed steel.

For a Clean Foundation. A Donley Foundation 
Coal Chute protects the foundation of a new home 
from the disfiguring scars and dirt of coal de- 
liveries. The strong metal frames of these chutes 
cannot be broken by flying pieces of coal and the 
doors when opened protect the siding or masonry 
wall above the chute from damage. The attractive- 
ness of Donley Coal Chutes is shown in the photo- 
graphs on this page. 

More Convenient— Burglar Proof. Other advan- 
tages of the Donley Coal Chute are the greater con- 
venience for the home owner and protection 
against burglars. The automatic spring lock on 
Donley Coal Chutes is released from inside the 
house by a chain pull fastened to the lock. After a 
coal delivery has been made, the coal man closes 
the door and the lock snaps into place. This lock 
on the inside of the door is proof against forcing 
by thieves. 

Where Furnace Burns Gas or Oil. Even when a 
home is to have an oil or gas furnace, a coal chute 
should be provided for deliveries of coal or wood 



for use in the fireplace. For this reason the coal 
chute should be included in every new home. 

Description. Donley Coal Chutes are made in sizes 
and for w T all thicknesses as listed in table on the 
next page. All these coal chutes have bodies made 
of rust-resisting copper steel. Frames and hinges 
are malleable iron or copper bearing steel. The 
hinges are made so that the door is held open in 
vertical position to protect the wall above the chute. 
Automatic spring locks have chain pulls for releas- 
ing the latch from the inside. The solid metal doors 
are formed from heavy gauge steel and are at- 
tractively paneled. Glass door chutes are also 
formed of heavy steel and the three panes of glass 
are protected 
with a shield 
when door is 
open, yet are eas- 
ily replaced if 
broken. 

The sizes of glass 
doors are listed, 
both having 
three-lights with 
the glass bedded 
in cork, held in 
place by clips 
made of oil tem- 
pered steel, Park- 
erized to resist 
rust.

Types of Foundation Chutes 

The table above lists thirteen different types of 
Foundation (or Wall) Chutes. They differ in regard 
to the doors, whether solid metal or glass, also as to 
slanting or straight bottoms, as to the availability 
of hoppers and also as to dimensions. 
Glass Doors— The doors of glass door models are 
fabricated from steel sections. They contain three 
panes of glass bedded in cork and held in place by 
special steel spring clips. 

Frames — Five of the chutes listed have copper steel 
and eight have frames of malleable iron. The bot- 
tom of the chute may be straight or sloping, accord- 
ing to the kind ordered. 

Hoppers — Increasing use of slide chutes by delivery 
men has lessened the demand for a hopper on the

The diagram above, 
with letters referring 
to the table below, 
will aid you in deter- 
mining the exact size 
of chute required for 
your situation. The chute represented is a slant bot- 
tom model, but the dimensions given apply to both 
horizontal and slant models. This table should be 
supplemented by careful reading of the table in the

Grade Line Coal Chutes 




Many charming homes are built with floors near the 
ground level, making it impractical to use the types 
of chute previously described. For such, is the Don- 
ley Grade Line Chute, with horizontal opening at the 
level of the lawn or drive. It is also useful for stores 
or business buildings. 

This chute has the same protective advantages as the 
foundation chute. When coal is delivered, its door 
turns up against the building, shielding it from fly- 
ing fuel. Its automatic lock is released from the in- 
side by pulling a chain from a point outside the bin. 
The heavy malleable iron frame on No. 1 and No. 2 
is made with a gutter to prevent water entering cel- 
lar. Frame on No. 10 is a special steel section welded 



at the corners, which door overlaps. Lip prevents 
water entering cellar. The gutter of No. 1 and No. 2 
has an outlet outside the chute, which may be con- 
nected by a pipe to a drain tile and thus to the house 
drain. Pipe connection is furnished without extra 
cost, but only when ordered. 
The door of 



the chute is 
made of check- 
ered steel, af- 
fording a good 
foothold and 
capable of sup- 
porting ordi- 
nary sidewalk 
traffic. The 
frame and 
hinge are of 
malleable iron with hinge pins of brass. Shipping 
weight, No. 10, 100 pounds; No. 1, 145 pounds; No. 
2, 210 pounds.

Mail Receiver 

PRIVATE MAIL SERVICE is a 
modern convenience that should 
be included in every home by 
means of a Donley Built-in Mail 
Receiver. This mail receiver is a 
metal chute with a door at each 
end that connects the inside and 
outside walls of the home, usu- 
ally close to the front entrance. The postman de- 
posits the mail in the chute through the outside 
door— the housewife removes the mail from the 
inside of the home. Mail is protected from the 
weather and remains in the receiver until, at her 
leisure, the housewife removes it — without any 
bother and without stepping outside the house. 

It is a great convenience to the home owner, gives 
complete protection to the mail and is a more at- 
tractive mail receptacle. 

There are three general types of Donley Mail Re- 
ceivers as shown below. At the left is the Number 
9 Receiver, the most recent model, a chute body 
type designed for both the narrow and wide wall 
space. It has a pressed bronze outer door and 
frame, carefully designed and made to be water- 
proof. Regularly finished in dark antique brass 
color. At the right is Number 3 box type with 
large mail capacity and horizontal door. In the 
center are Numbers 1 and 2 chute types with hori- 
zontal door. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 have an outer 
door of cast bronze (light) in natural finish. All 
types are available for both brick and frame or 
stucco construction. They have galvanized steel 




Fig. 3 



bodies and pressed steel inner doors. There are no 
springs or other parts to get out of order, no keys 
to lose. These mail receivers are weather-proof, 
easy to install, attractive, low in cost and will not 
rust. Types for frame construction are designated 
with an "F," brick or masonry types with a "B." 
Donley Mail Receivers are completely assembled 
and carefully packed in individual cartons with 
simple directions for installation.

Access Doors 

TO REACH CONCEALED PLUMBING Donley Ac- 
cess Doors save tearing out of plaster to reach hid- 
den plumbing, wiring or steam pipes. Set flush 
with the wall they may be calked and painted or 
papered over, remaining practically invisible at all 
times. When repairs are necessary, they open eas- 
ily for quick access to concealed plumbing. The 
unit consists of frame and door. The frame is made 
of two welded angles, its outer and inner edge per- 
forated for plaster key and easy nailing. Door is 
made from furniture quality steel, finished in gray 
priming coat. It is held in place by two lugs at the 
bottom and by interior button catch at the top. 
This catch is opened by turning a screw driver in- 
serted in the slot. The 
door then falls outward 
at the top and is easily 
lifted from the lower 
lugs, leaving the open- 
ing clear. See drawing 
and table of dimensions 
below. Made in five 
sizes. Please order by

When thresholds of wood or masonry wear away 
under constant use, a drafty, unsightly doorway is 
the result. Donley Metal Thresholds of cast iron, 
extruded brass or aluminum defy wear for long 
periods. They assure a close fit at the bottom of the 
door, and at the same time allow the door to swing 
clear of the rug or carpet. The photograph below 
shows the simplicity of the installation. Supplied 
cut to length with countersunk screw holes and No.

Donley Septic Tank 




For Cottages, 
Country Homes 
and Camps 



Above is shown general layout of sanitary system for rural home, illustrating relation of parts, 
but not to be taken as an exact guide. Dimensions, etc., are furnished in instructions with tank. 



Private Sewage System for homes not reached by 
public sewers, the Donley Septic Tank offers a safe, 
effective and economical sanitary system. A septic 
tank installation does its work out of sight, beneath 
the soil, is free from offensive odors, needs no 
chemicals and requires no attention for long periods. 

Gives City Convenience. Country life has many 
charms but too often these charms are offset by 
poor sanitary arrangements. By means of the Don- 
ley Septic Tank, your rural home may have the 
convenience of a home in the city, including a bath- 
room in which you can take great pride. Many 
thousands of rural dwellers and cottagers have 
proved the complete practicability of this type of 
sanitary system. 

Made for long service — the Donley Septic Tanks are 
made for those who appreciate differences in value. 
They are made of 14 gauge copper bearing steel. 
Of utmost importance is the protection to the steel 
accomplished by a thick overall coating of asphalt. 
This is applied by dipping the Tank in hot asphalt, 
thoroughly covering all parts both inside and out. 

The interior is designed in accordance with the 
latest approved principles developed by sanitary 
engineers. 

Though hidden from view the inner parts are full 
thickness and size and thoroughly protected. A 
flanged lid is held in place with three strong bolts. 



Inlet and outlet connections are made for pipe six 
inches in diameter and any mechanic can readily 
adapt them to any other size of pipe used. 

How it Operates. The inflow from the house sewer 
is into the larger, sludge chamber where the solids 
are dissolved and bacteria action begins. As the

bacterial action continues the liquid passes into the 
outflow chamber for further purification before 
passing into the outflow tile and disposal bed. This 
prolonged action is possible only because of the in- 
clusion of TWO chambers. 

Directions for installing the Donley Septic Tank 
and methods of laying tile disposal system under 
different conditions are attached to each tank. If in 
doubt about size of tank to choose, it is preferable 
to select the larger one. 

Grease Traps 

Grease interferes with the septic action in a septic 
tank. For this reason it is advisable to remove 
excessive grease from the waste water by means of 
the Donley Grease Trap. 

Since excessive grease is usually from the kitchen 
sink, the grease trap is placed in the line, between 



31 

sink and septic tank (see sketch at top of page 30). 
Because it requires an occasional cleaning, it should 
be accessible for cleaning with a minimum of trouble. 

Construction of the grease trap is similar to the 
septic tank, being made of 14 gauge copper bearing 
steel. Also, it is thoroughly protected inside and 
out by a thick asphalt coating over all surfaces, ap- 
plied by the hot dip process. 

Trap is flanged at top and bottom for extra strength. 
Two substantial bolts hold the top in place and the 
inlet and outlet have threaded connection for 2" 
standard pipe. Diameter is 23", height 24". This 
provides 63% more capacity than the frequently 
used 18"x24" size. For that reason less frequent 
removal of grease is necessary. Quality construc- 
tion assures the user of long service and a mini- 
mum of care. 



Donley Underground Garbage Receiver 




Beautify your 
Backyard. The 

increasing use 
of the back- 
yard as a sum- 
mer gathering 
spot for the 
family and 
friends has 
created a 
greater de- 
mand for this 
Donley Un- 
tie r g r o u n d 
Garbage Re- 
ceiver. Con- 
sider a few of the advantages of this modern gar- 
bage receiver in contrast to the old, unsightly, odor- 
ous garbage can— (1) It is hidden from sight, under- 
ground, only an inconspicuous, grass-green top 
being visible in the lawn or cement area. (2) It is 
protected from frost — (3) no destructive hammer- 
ing of the container to free contents. (4) It is 
opened by a foot lever so that both hands can be 
occupied while emptying refuse. (5) Dogs cannot 
spill the garbage. (6) Its tight lid seals in odors 
which draw flies, other insects and rats. (7) Two 
piece top prevents garbage falling between pail and 
outer shell. 

Donley Garbage Receivers are the product of 25 
years of experience in the manufacture of under- 
ground garbage receivers. They are of three sec- 
tions—outer shell, top and inner pail. The outer 
shell is made of 16-gauge copper alloy steel, cor- 
rugated top and bottom for strength, and stiffened 
at the bottom with galvanized cross rods. The inner 
pail or container is made of copper alloy steel, 
galvanized after fabrication which means that it is

ceiver with top closed. The two 
views illustrate two of the four 
sizes available. 



protected at every crevice. A slight taper gives 
ample clearance and special attachment of handle 
makes it easier to take out or put back. 
The top is in two parts, made of steel to insure long 
life and the greatest strength with the least weight. 
This lighter weight is appreciated when opening the 
lid by foot pressure. The large, convenient opening 
is eleven inches in diameter and the cover, which is 
hinged to the outer container, is raised only when 
the pail is removed. These receivers give satisfac- 
tion for years and are endorsed by the Good House- 
keeping Institute.

Sash of Donley Basement Windows are faced with 
cork, glued in place as a cushion for the panes of 
glass and each pane rests on a cork strip at the bot- 
tom. The glass is held in place with spring steel 
"Jiffy Clips," or with ordinary glazing mastic. 
Jiffy Clips are Donley's solution to quick, easy 
glazing. The cartoons above show how simple this 
operation is. Each pane of glass is held in place by 
these clips — a strong, neat, clean method of glazing. 



The clip is sprung into place and held by grooves in 
the T-section that coincide with the projections in 
the clip. The clips, shown below, are of tempered 
spring steel and rust-proofed by the Parker process.

This illustrates how 
the glazing clips are 
packed. One of these packages, 
containing a set of clips, is se- 
curely attached to each window.

Utility Windows 

Donley Utility Windows 
fill a widespread need for 
a general purpose, sturdy, 
metal framed window of 
simple design. Their con- 
struction is similar to the 
Donley Basement Win- 
dow but only one part is 
designed to open. The 
ventilator part is at the 
top in the six light size 
and in center of the nine 
light size. 

Donley Utility Windows 
are widely used in ga- 
rages, studios, shops or 
for any other purpose where a spacious, strongly- 
built window is required. These windows are to be 
glazed with putty, and for this purpose, glazing 
clips are furnished with each window.

Screens for Donley 
Windows 




When you order Donley Basement or Utility Win- 
dows, be sure to provide screens to fit. The Donley 
Screen is designed for fastening to the outside of 
the window in all sizes listed. 

Screens are made of close mesh, bronze wire framed 
with steel and are complete, ready to install. Two 
bolts hold the screens securely fastened in place 
from the inside, where an intruder cannot unfasten 
them. You will have no trouble with flies when you 
ventilate your basement or garage, no difficulty with 
loose, ill fitting screens. 



Steel Clothes Posts 

Donley Clothes Posts are so 
trim, so inconspicuous with 
their grass-green paint that 
they are seldom noticed ex- 
cept on wash day. They are 
made of reclaimed pipe, 2%" 
in diameter, 9%' in length 
with a cross rod at the top 
for attaching the line. Don- 
ley Clothes Posts cost less than wooden 
posts and have every advantage of strength, 
neatness and resistance to weather. It is 
recommended that they be set in the ground 
in concrete, although the concrete is not 
absolutely necessary. Posts may be or- 
dered with or without the ornamental cast 
iron top. Post with top, 38 lbs. 





Wall 
Plug 



Donley Wall Plugs are needed wherever wood mem- 
bers must be nailed to the masonry wall. They are 
the standard method of attaching wood furring to 
support lath on wall board. Also used in applica- 
tion of woodwork, wainscoting, etc. Deeply cor- 
rugated, heavy galvanized, they afford a sure grip 
on the nail and resist corrosion. Side construction 
excludes mortar. Shipping weight, 100 pounds per 
1000. 




Steel Basement Columns 

Save Basement Space. The

brick column in the base- 
ment. The circle within

a five-inch Donley Basement Column. 
Donley Columns are strong, economical, 
neat in appearance, easy to install and 
require less space. Made of steel pipe, 
thoroughly painted, they are available in 
4" and 5" diameters in four standard 
lengths. Special sizes cut to order. 

Donley Basement Columns are regularly 
shipped with pressed steel caps and bases 
unless otherwise specified.

waste, garbage and trash is by use of a flue fed 
Donley Incinerator. This incinerator is designed 
and built to give years of satisfaction and trouble- 
free operation. The owner has a right to expect 
such long life and durability in a product of this 
kind and Donley Incinerators meet that expectation. 
Owners appreciate these qualities and the avoidance 
of costly repairs in equipment of such importance. 
A Donley Incinerator usually costs nothing to oper- 
ate since trash and wastes are sufficient fuel. 

The nine sizes available fit anything from a five- 
room cottage to a large apartment, hospital, school 
or store. (Incinerator is installed in building during 
construction but can be built into a finished house 
if there is a flue available. In the latter case, how- 
ever, trash is fed through fire door in the basement 
instead of being fed through the flue). 

Description. The Donley Incinerator consists of the 
metal equipment supplied by us, and the brick work 
installed as a part of the regular masonry contract. 
The latter consists of a brick box in the basement 
and a chimney that also serves as a chute for the 
garbage. Metal equipment includes fire door, ash 
door, grates, grate frame, crank, roof irons and 
chimney screen. Receiving hopper doors are priced 
separately as the number required varies, one or 
more being required for each incinerator. 

Operation is simple and calls, normally, for no 
added fuel. Where wastes are unusually moist (as 
fruit store) or where conditions may cause slow 
drying, a gas burner is recommended. (These burn- 
ers are included on order at small extra cost). Gar- 
bage, wrapped in paper, is dropped through receiv- 
ing door to the grates where it accumulates and 
dries. Once or twice a week, fire door is opened and 
match applied. After burning, grates are dumped 
and ashes, with unburnable trash, removed period- 
ically. 

Installation is made by the mason with the aid of 
details and directions which we furnish. Every 
structural feature has been designed to avoid need 
of special supervision of construction and subse- 
quent servicing. Table on the next page will aid 
you in determining the size suitable for your use.

Donley Receiving Hopper Doors 





Flush Style 



Projecting Style 



The Receiving Hopper Door is the part of the in- 
cinerator that shows in the living quarters (of the 
home or apartment). It should be located for con- 
venience in disposing of kitchen waste. Donley re- 
ceiving hopper doors are available in two styles as 
shown. The two smaller sizes, numbered 1 and 2 
are of the flush type illustrated at left. The larger 
sizes numbered 3 and 4 are of the projecting type 
illustrated at right. Both types are furnished in 
prime coat so they may be finish painted to match 
surroundings. Special finishes are available at 
slight extra cost. Information about special quiet 
door checks furnished on request. 

The Receiving Hopper Doors are attractively de- 
signed and carefully fitted. They are made of high 
grade cast iron, of substantial weight to avoid 
warping. Like the other parts of the incinerator 
they are made to minimize upkeep and repair ex- 
pense. 

Heavy sheet metal hopper moves with the door, 
closing the opening to stack when door is opened.

Donley Steel Mortar Boxes 



Water Tight— Easy to Clean. These sturdy Donley 
Steel Mortar Boxes do not leak, shrink, swell or 
become waterlogged as do common wooden boxes. 

Donley Mortar Boxes aid 
accurate mixing of the 
mortar or plaster, since 
water is retained instead of 
being absorbed by the 
wood or leaking out 
through cracks. 

Best plastering results de- 
pend upon thorough clean- 
ing of past mixes from the 
box. The Donley Mortar 
Box has a smooth interior, 
free from rivet heads or projections, therefore thor- 
ough cleaning is easy. Contractors report that plas- 
ter does not "go dead" quickly when mixed in these 
steel boxes. 

In cold weather the box can be set on brick or tile 
supports and a fire built beneath to heat the mix. 
For more accurate temperature control, place a 
smaller box within a larger one and resting on

the inner one for mixing. This will keep the mix- 
ture warm but well below the boiling point. 

Donley Steel Mortar Boxes are made of one piece 
14-gauge steel (except Nos. 3 and 4, 16-gauge) se- 
curely welded at the joints and reinforced at the 
top with hot rolled steel angle. They are strong and 
well made, but are light enough to handle easily. 
Inverted, they make a handy temporary roof to pro- 
tect sacks of cement or plaster. Donley Mortar 
Boxes nest conveniently for storage and when 
shipped in quantities of three or more, obtain 
minimum freight costs.

Donley Salamanders 



Corner Wheel Guards 




For 

Construction 

Heating 



Add months to the season of profitable building 
with Donley Salamanders. These substantial, low 
cost portable heaters maintain proper setting tem- 
peratures for plaster and concrete and warm 
numbed fingers, even on the highest scaffold. They 
are also in general use as stoves in construction 
offices and in temporary living quarters of construc- 
tion labor. 

Donley Salamanders will burn any fuel, are built 
with grates that stay in place and with sides that do 
not cave in when hot, for they are stiffened by 
heavy reinforcing channel from top to bottom which 
also forms the legs. Corrugation near the top pro- 
vides additional strength. 

As shown in the table, tops and ash pans are op- 
tional to fit requirements of the job. Tops are 
equipped with 6" flue connection and with stove lid. 
All parts are standardized and are quickly available. 
Tops, grates and ash pans of No. 118 and 228 are 
interchangeable. Contractors who standardize on 
Donley Salamanders soon realize their economy and 
efficiency.

No. 118 — Salamander is built for long and severe usage. 

No. 218 — Salamander is designed and built for temporary or 
less severe use. 

No. 115 — Salamander is made for use on scaffolds or out of 
the way places where lightness counts. 

No. 112 — Small Salamander, weighs only 20 pounds and stands 
but 23 inches high, consequently is ideal where extreme lightness 
and convenience in a salamander are necessary. 




Where driveways adjoin 
buildings these Donley Corner 
Wheel Guards protect the 
building from passing vehi- 
cles. Made of heavy cast iron, 
they deflect any wheel and 
prevent damage to the corner 
of the building. They bolt to 
the corner of the building 
with two %" x 8" bolts pro- 
vided with each guard. Made 
in three sizes, 22, 30 and 60" 
in height (see measurements 
below). Sixty inch type pro- 
tects against truck bodies or 
loads. Shipping weights, 50, 
85 and 135 pounds respec- 
tively. 



Jamb Wheel Guards 

Similar to the corner wheel guard, the Donley Jamb 
Wheel Guard bolts against the flat surface of the 
door jambs for protection of the building. Indis- 
pensable in public garages, service stations, ware- 
houses and terminals — 
as well as valuable in 
private garages where 
jamb and door con- 
struction permits. It

Donley Sewer Pipe Strainers 

Bar Perforated 



Donley Sewer Pipe Strainers are made in two types, 
the Bar type with large openings and the Perforated 
type with small round openings. The Perforated 
type has the advantage that its smaller openings 
exclude small articles of floating rubbish where that 
is a factor. Drawing at the right shows how these 
strainers fit into the hub of the upturned sewer 
crock for catch basin or other drainage purpose. 
All strainers are made to fit sewer pipe sizes as 
standardized by the Eastern Clay Products Associa- 
tion. Order by pipe size.

Roof Coating 

(Asbestos Fiber) 

Roofs of homes, garages, in- 
dustrial or commercial 
buildings, schools, public 
buildings, etc., are subject to 
a continuous process of de- 
terioration from the action 
of the elements. Constant 
vigilance and the timely use 
of Donley Asbestos Fiber 
Roof Coating are the measures which will keep your 
roof intact, waterproof and serviceable for long 
periods. 

Donley Asbestos Fiber Roof Coating is a blend of 
high grade, selected asphalts, compounded with spe- 
cially treated oils that retain their life for long 
periods, and is heavily reinforced with long fiber 
asbestos. It softens and preserves the fabric, re- 
stores flexibility, protects the nail heads, flashings 
and other metal features of the roof from rust and 
disintegration. Makes an excellent protection for 
metal roofs. Ordinarily one application suffices, but 
roof should be inspected at the end of 24 hours and 
where a "dull" spot in a fabric or paper roof indi- 
cates greater porosity, a second application over 
such areas is desirable. 

Donley Asbestos Fiber Roof Coating is regularly 
shipped in 5-galIon cans with easily removable cov- 
ers. It is also available in 35-gallon drums, 55-gallon 
drums and gallon cans. The shipping weight is 10 
pounds per gallon. 

Donley Waterproofing 

Donley Waterproofing is a highly 
penetrating and lasting bituminous 
brush coat that gives unusual pro- 
tection wherever used for damp 
proofing and waterproofing. It is 
especially recommended for appli- 
cation cold on exteriors of founda- 
tion walls below grade. Average 
covering capacity per gallon is 75 
square feet, one coat; 50 square feet, two coats. 
Shipped in 5-gallon cans with handles and easily 
removable cover. Available also in 1-gallon cans, 
half barrels and barrels. Shipping weight approxi- 
mately 9 pounds. 

Fibrated Roof Cement 

Donley Fibrated Roof Cement is a trowel applica- 
tion of paste consistency that stops leaks in almost 
any type of roof, including slate or shingle roofs of 
residences. Its ingredients are similar to the roof 
coating but of heavier consistency and it should be 
used around seams, flashings and obvious breaks 
in the roof fabric as a preliminary to brushing on 
Donley Asbestos Fiber Roof Coating. Valuable for 
emergency use in stopping leaks. Donley Roof 
Patching Cement is supplied in 5-pound, 10-pound, 
25-pound and 50-pound cans and in steel drums of 
approximately 550 pounds. 




Ventilators, Adjustable and 
Fixed 



^ 







Dry rot, a fungus 
disease of timber, 
develops in dark 
places that lack 
sufficient ventila- 
tion. Donley Venti- 
lators prevent dry 
rot by letting fresh 
air under porches, 
under homes with- 
out basements, in 
attics or closed 
lofts, vegetable cel- 
lars and elsewhere. 
Donley Ventilators 
are made in adjust- 
able types and in types that always remain open. 
Donley Adjustable Ventilators are made in two de- 
signs — bar and round hole (see illustrations above). 
The bar design with slotted openings %" wide has 
the most free area, double that of the round hole. 
Roth designs are opened or closed by pushing, to 
right or left, the knob on the movable part. They 
are made of cast iron, with bar design also available 
in cast bronze. Supplied with bronze fly screen at 
small extra cost.

Donley Concrete Inserts 

A Stronger Insert. For the hanging of 
fixtures, shafting, pipe, tracks, etc., 
Donley Inserts give maximum strength. 
In choosing inserts, they should be 
judged by load capacity, not by bolt 
size. For instance the Donley Insert 
for a %" bolt will safely support a 
weight of 1200 pounds with a safety 
factor of four, whereas some inserts 
on the market will only support 800 
pounds on a %" bolt. Both material 
and design of Donley Concrete Inserts 
insure greatest load bearing capacity. 
Made of high grade malleable casting, 
its two spread legs engage an unusual 

amount of concrete and the ilat lugs at the upper ends 

assure maximum anchorage. 

The design of Donley Inserts was proved sound bv a 
series of thorough tests. These tests consisted of loading 
to failure many inserts of each size. In nearly every 
case, the failure occurred in the bolt or bolt threads. 
This proved that each insert developed a strength equal 
to the strength of the bolt in each size. The letter at the 
right tells of an experience of a well known firm of 
^ engineers. 

The diagram at the left shows the 
amount of concrete engaged as 
proved by insert installations 
tested to failure.

*l t _?_ n . t . 1 . on fr fr. Ceorfe Donley 
Dear Mr. Donley: - 

I thought perhaps you would be Interested in a 
little Incident that happened come time ago in the plant of one 
of our clients, a large automotive manufacturer. 

Running thru the plant was a light monorail 
traveller of some thousand feet in length. It passed thru build- 
ings of various types of construction and was suspended froci 
various types of inserts in concrete or hangers direct from 
structural steel members. 

The workman, desiring to lift a five ton load, 
suspended a block from this monorail. This load being eight or 
nine times the carrying capacity of the track could have but one 
result. The track, in its failure, was whipped down for a distance 
of nearly 300 ft. and there was every conceivable kind of failure 
in the inserts or the hanpers, But I am pleased to say that the 
section of the building which we erected, where the monorail was 
suspended from 3/4" Donley Standard Inserts, that in every case 
the Insert remained intact but that the failure was either in the 
belt, the bolt head or the threads. When the monorail was re- 
erected the Donley inserts were reused and are still in service. 



Yours very 



. r^Ouc^, 






Showing Amount of 
Concrete Engaged 



The bolt head is thrust through a 
squared opening at the end of a slot (see photograph 
above), and moved to the desired position. This permits 



an adjustment that is one of the advantages 
of the Donley Insert. Wherever it is impor- 
tant to get the utmost support from the con- 
crete and the bolt, be sure to use a Donley 
Concrete Insert.

How To Get Donley Devices 



The first step is to take this book to your 
architect while the home is being planned 
and explain to him that you want Donley 
Devices in your home * * or with your 
builder, if no architect is employed. * * 
It is probable that both know just where 
they can be secured. * * Donley Devices 
are sold through responsible building 
material dealers, located in principal 
centers. * * These dealers have a fund of 
practical information and a real desire 
to help you. * * If in doubt about the 
Donley Dealer in your locality, write to 
the Donley Brothers Company, 13900 
Miles Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. * * Should 
you live in a locality not served by a 
Donley Dealer, prices will be quoted di- 
rectly and all desired information given 
on request.

OTHERS HAVE FOUND THIS BOOK OF 
SUCCESSFUL FIREPLACES USEFUL 



"It seems to have exactly the information that 
most of our readers are seeking." — Good House- 
keeping Magazine, 

"I bought my first damper from you in 19:i(). 
Your Hook of Successful Fireplaces and Catalog 
sold me on the Donley damper. At the time I 
was a rank amateur, but your plans for fireplace 
construction made the procedure so simple I just 
had to do it myself. Structurally it turned out 
perfectly and everyone was amazed because they 
all expected it to smoke. I have preached the 
Donley gospel ever since." — Wendell Smith, Art 
Director, Capper's Farmer, Topeka, Kansas. 



"My fireplace works fine, thanks to the Donley 
Damper and fireplace specifications." — G. Reed 
Snyder, Carlisle, Pa. 

"My brother from Denmark, a mason contractor, 
is visiting the United States. He wishes to get a 
sketch of a good dependable fireplace. 
"From actual experience, I know that fireplaces 
erected according to instructions sent with the 
'Donley' dampers are very satisfactory. 
"Please enter my order for 3 copies of The Don- 
leu Hook of Successful Fireplaces." — Thorvald 
Mathiasen, South Ainboy, N. J. 



WHAT OUR FRIENDS TELL US 



A material dealer in Youngstown, Ohio, has this 
to say: "In view of the fact that we have han- 
dled your materials for a number of years and 
have never had occasion to ask for an adjust- 
ment or a claim of any kind warrants us to 
write you that we greatly appreciate the co-oper- 
ation which you give your dealers — first, the high 
grade materials which you use in your complete 
line of articles; second, the national advertising 
which is of great help; third, the service which 
we are able to give through your catalogs and 
literature." 

F. J. McFadden, architect, of Lorain, Ohio, writes 
to tell of building a rust.c fireplace in his studio 
office, using a Donley Damper. "For my own 
satisfaction," he states, "I decided to construct 
this myself and see if a real unskilled mechanic 
could follow your very complete details and pro- 
duce a fireplace of credit. The room, 15x30 feet, 
is being heated with this only and no wind has 
ever blown smoke down the flue and back into 
the room. As an architect I have specified Don- 
ley products for years and have in all cases 
found the goods as represented and my advice 
to all prospective builders of fireplaces is to se- 
lect your damper and specialties and in all cases 
follow details to the letter and I can assure you 
the result will be most gratifying. There is no 
luck in the construction of a fireplace. Follow 



the details as prepared by Donley. They have 
done your experiments for you." 

"I want you to know that we like our Heatsaver 
Fireplace very much," writes C. V. Barber of 
Chagrin Falls, Ohio. "The warm air outlet to 
the second floor bedroom makes it warm and 
cozy. I like the Heatsaver better than a furnace. 
It heats quicker and with but a small amount of 
fuel." 

"Feeling is believing," writes E. V. Cooke of 
Cleveland, Ohio. "Although convinced of the 
soundness of the principles on which your Heat- 
saver fireplace is constructed- — at the time of pur- 
chase, it was not until I actually built a fire in 
it on one of the first cold days of the season that 
I appreciated how much additional comfort it 
adds to a living room. The quantity of heat out- 
put is a source of continuous surprise and satis- 
faction." 

"My Heatsaver fireplace has been in some two 
weeks. It is so satisfactory that I am in a meas- 
ure neglecting business by spending so much of 
my time enjoying the glow and cheerfulness. It 
sure is 100% satisfactory. 

"It's a marvelous heater. I never thought one 
could secure so much heat from such a simple 
device." — Harry Fisher, Cleveland, O.

as crisp and new as the day you bought them. 

"Tontine" shades are remarkably durable. 





"We've had our 'Ton- 
tine' shades for years. 
They've been washed 
at least a dozen times 
— and look as nice 
now as the day I 
bought them." — Mrs. 
John L. Myles, Scars- 
date, N. Y. 





They won't crack, fray or pinhole! Rain won't 
hurt them! Sunshine won't fade them! And no 
matter how often you wash "Tontine" shades, 
they keep their original color. And they save 
money in replacements — because they wear 
so long. 

Read what these three women have to say 
about "Tontine" shades: 




'"The only shade used 
i nTh e Sherry-Nether- 
land hotel is 'Ton- 
tine.' They last long- 
er and save money." 
—Miss Anne Owens, 
Ex e c u live Ho u s e- 
keeper, The Sherry- 
Netherland. JV. Y. C. 




"Our 'Tontine' shades 
get a thorough scrub- 
bing during soring 
ho usee leaning. They 
certainly come clean. 
And we again have 
'new' shades." — Mrs. 
Joseph A. Cuddihy, 
Phoenix, Arizona.

THAT IS JOYOUS TO LIVE WITH 

FIAT decided years ago that beauty of design, color and finish 
should rule their creation of shower bath cabinets. Customers 
decided FIAT was right and today smart bathrooms everywhere 
owe something to the FIAT shower compartment installed. The 
pleasure of using your shower is stepped up and your pride in 
your bathrooms' modern beauty lasts with FIAT because quality 
manufacture has seen to it that this beauty does not work off 
with the passing of years.

THAT IS EASY TO SPOTLESSLY MAINTAIN! 

Washed and rinsed you step from your FIAT shower bath cabinet 
feeling a sense of cleanliness that is accentuated by the im- 
maculate condition of the shower cabinet you have left. Ingenious 
engineering is responsible for FIAT immunity to dirt collection.

THAT DRIES THE TEARS OF YESTERYEARS FROM SHOWERS 

FIAT has achieved a leakproof shower— a feat in careful engi-

agreed would be wonderful. The secret is first of all the pat- 
ented FIAT pre-cast receptor— then a way of getting rid of joints 
and cracks that could leak. Sounds simple and is for you to enjoy 
if you insist on FIAT.
